I am looking for the 5-point star wheel locks. I lost one as I was driving on the highway, I guess I forgot to tighten it all the way since I had rotated the tires weeks prior. Anyway, I bought part number - 09599493- as a "crutch" until I find the original lock set. Unfortunately, my original wheel lock key does not have a part/serial number and i cannot find it online. Attached is a picture of my original key, then the oem wheel lock 5 pt star, and lastly, the new wheel lock ( 6 pt star). Has anyone dealt with McGard in regards about their oem lock? Would they be able to help if I give them my VIN? these were installed at the dealership so I cant recall if I saw a part number anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

I had to get a replacement key from them before. They had me send them a pencil rubbing of the lock design and they figured it out from that and sold me the new key directly. So they should be able to do the same thing for damaged nuts.
For the cost of new set it might be quicker to just change them all tho?

If it’s OEM, McGuire or GM knows the code. (Could also be on the cover of the box it came in (look in your boot)

Ever get this fixed ? If not dealership can check which one you need with their master set and can order you a replacement

Go to Autozone they sell an emergency wheel lock removal. There are three kinds I forgot which one works. You can buy all three and return the two that doesn’t work. Discount tires actually removed all my locks because I didn’t have the key and sold me a new one with key.

Yes, and that is the fallacy of depending on wheel locks to prevent wheel theft.

Organized thieves, just like most local repair shops, have keys to all the major brands and configurations of wheel locks. The reality is that if someone who is part of a theft ring wants your wheels, they will get your wheels with little or no trouble. Wheel locks may have some success against amateur would-be thieves, but that's about it. Unfortunate, but that is reality.

The important part of security is to slow down the thief.
