Please Help.... Tire Key - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,

I apologize if this is not the best place to post this. I have done some searches on other threads but did not find an answer.

Long story short, I have misplaced my wheel key and can not find the card containing the information regarding the third party that had manufactured the lock and key set. I was hoping someone on here would have the same lock as mine and may be able to share the manufacturer's contact information and product serial number. I have attached a picture of my lock as a point of reference.

The Canadian winter is fast approaching and I would like to get my winters on ASAP. The dealers have repeatedly told me that they are unable to tell me who the manufacturer is based on my VIN or any other method that I have seen online.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Camaro5 family

rebelyell22 · 11-29-2015, 05:41 PM

hammer a socket over it

It looks a little like my gorilla locks. You're going to have a hard time convincing a manufacturer to send you a replacement key without proof of ownership.
Maybe someone familiar with welding can give advice on having a shop weld a regular lugnut onto each of your locks.

A good tire store should be able to help you out.

plus use a breaker bar to help remove the lock.Yes it may ruin the lock nuts but you'll at least be able to take the wheels off.

Yep... instead of the 2 seconds to remove, it takes about a minute at a good tire shop. Even the Firestone can get them off...
