Lug nut lock key

So I went to rotate my tires this morning and my lug nut key is missing. Last place I had it was the dealership...I think they jacked it on accident. Does anyone have the part # or know where I can order one online? I've also read the threads on removing the locks without the key and just replacing them with regular lug nuts. What do you guys suggest?

you can also try a 12pt socket that slight fit and impact it out.

I always make sure to get mine back whenever I have anyone do work. I know my wheels arent all that nice, but the tires cost alot of money!

I used to have lock nuts but decided to just go ahead with regular lugs after going through the same thing.

See thats a good thing for you, but the thives will steal your wheels and tires entirely if they want though.

I have 4 different kinds of lucking lugs on my vette..
