If they are made by McGard;just make a pattern of the convolutions by tracing it with a piece of thin paper and a pencil. Then send it to McGard with an explanation of what happened and they will sell you another.OEM Honda wheel locks are also made to spec by McGard.

If it's another brand;you're on your own

McGard won't do this anymore. They want a code number.

I found out the hard way when I went for a drive in the S4 with the key still on the wheel.

Some tire places have a lock extractor. It will damage the lock but it will come off.

If they are Honda wheel locks, take the car to your local Honda dealer or come see me. Dealers should have a master set of keys to take the lock off. I believe there are only 10 - 12 different patterns. If they don't have a master set, have them try each key from a new set of locks. One of them is bound to work.
Sweet, Jeff and crew to the resue!!
