Unhappy Locking Wheel Nuts!!!

Hi Everyone,

I have an 04 coupe with stock rims. When i bought the car the previous owner didn't give me the locking wheel nut and now i need to change the back tyres badly! There's no way i can contact the previous owner as i don't have his contact details so i was wondering if you know of anyway round this other than cuttin through the bolt? Would Chrysler dealers keep specific types of locking wheel nuts?

I have had this happen several times over the years.

A local Discount Tire or Belletire (any big chain place, or even a mom-and-pop store for that matter) sometimes have universal keys that can TRY.

If not, they can break them off. They usually charge $10-$20 per rim... but if you can't find the key, you have no other choice.

Also, I'd try a Chrysler dealership to see if they have a master (as previously stated)
