key mishap

key mishap

well my key cracked, now im stuck as to where to get a key from, any suggestions??

ive checked a few places, discount tire and auto zone, none of them have anything =(

can't they just drill out those lug nuts and just buy new wheel locks? There has to be a way...I mean what do people do when they strip their stock lug nuts?

with stockers we have a tool that we hammer on and it comes off like a normal lug.... what brand key is it??? there is a place down here that all they deal with is after market rims... PM me and I'll see if they have one wile I'm at work tomorrow...

im not sure, have to yet find out an answer

actually the rims are wed sports brand, dont know if that helps

does the key have a brand name on it??? like gorilla or something like that??

it came with my aftermarket rims, it just says A-56 on it, whatever that means, no brand name

Gorilla makes those. Call them up and they can ship you a new one. However, this will happen again in the future, so I recommend getting different lugnuts. You're not the only one with this problem. I've seen this happen countless times.

yea i remember someone posting something bout their key, cant remember what it was, aight ill call them up and see what they say, thanks

i guess if you think it's from Gorilla, you should call them up. This happened to me and they told me to take a high-res picture of it, and email it. They contacted me right away and sent it to me rushed delivery same-day.

crazy customer service.

lol thanks
how much are they usually?

They aren't too expensive. Gorilla is a very easy company to work with. Mcgard on the other hand in my personal experience, not so much

ok guys, i celled gorilla, dont know what you guys have gone through but the lady goes
1) they dont ask people to send in pictures so they can match the key
2) if its not a gorilla key, they cant do anything about it

now im stuck as to whom to ask

count the splines and get one off ebay.

lol if it was that easy

go to independent wheel shop they might have it

Go to www.Ebay.com. Type in 'spline key' under SEARCH.
:rule:

lol nice
well i guess there are 2 kinds of 7 spline keys and this guy is selling them both in one of his listings

do u see a similarity in any of them with mine?

Most common companies with 7-spline keys are Gorilla, McGard, and Topline - if you haven't already, try looking up manufacturer website for dimensions of their keys. Might be able to find one that will work for you. Hard to tell just by the shape, might get lucky if there was a little bit of slop with your original key.

Otherwise, the ones on the eBay listing might work. I used to have a 6-spline Gorilla key that a shop broke while putting the wheels back on. They had one from another make - that fit the M12x1.50 tuner lugs I had at the time and just gave me that one to replace it.

ok guys, i had my key fixed up by a friend of mine and we finally got the lug nuts off. Now i wanna buy a new set, what should i go for? i have bronze wheels, should i go blue or red?

I think the blue or red thing is kinda ricey. But if your going to I think red accents look better. But then again, in a recent thread I voted for red calipers but black won.

that crap happened to my rays lug nuts! i ended up drilling them **waste of money**learned my lesson too. now im sticking to muteki theyre pretty good and affordable

Red would look good on bronze wheels

i see most people with bronze wheels rockin blue nuts lol it does look good tho
legit01rolla, where did you buy yours from?

i went with the blues and bought muteki's also, cost me $40 on ebay
