Well, over the weekend I was gonna install my Zeal coilovers but I couldnt get
the rims off because I lost my wheel lock key.
I was so excited when I finally got home to install it only to find out that the
key was no where to be found.

Now I have to wait another two weeks to install the coilovers.

I worked at a mitsu dealer

there are like 5 or so "colors" for the differing "locks" or nut designs. My "lock" lug design is yellow color code. If you go to a dealership they can get out all the color coded locks and see which fits yours!

Obviously theres no way they could make a different lock for every single vehicle, that would be SO many variations and near impossible

almost all local rim shops carry keys for a variety of different locks plus the dealer might be able to help you even with after market rims, they got a lock for my falken 19"

you can get a bigger lugs and hammer it in the wheel key to take off the wheel lock.

Wheel locks should be easy to come by. I've even ran across pairs at my local circuit city, I was of course like "wow what are these doing here?"

I would get some ASAP and install. Even with assurances that your rims will be fine on 4 lugs I hate chances
