Find out who makes them, and see if you can order a key.

Default Audi doesn't offer locking bolts on their cars. Its 3rd party, and you haev a bit of a problem on

your hands. Take it to a tire shop and see what they say.

Default go to the person/dealer that sold it to you.....

ask them to give you the removal tool or have them remove the bolts for you.

Default Have you checked the glove box, spare tire well, and tool box

for the key to remove the wheel lock? 9 times out of 10, it's in one of those areas.

Default I have OEM Audi wheel locks.

they were purchased from the dealer in 97 and came from Audi Germany. They have an OEM part number also. And they were way too much money. My mother got them for me and didn't know to shop aftermarket for them. They each take a key..one on each wheel. Very well made..I think about $20-25 each! =-/

Default Really. How about that. I don't suppose you have the part number, lol?

I'm not interested in buying them, just looking them up.

Default 2nd!

And if its an OEM wheel lock, you can see your local dealer about ordering a replacement key for it (if you can't find it).

Default here is what they look like w/part number..

I can't believe she bought the damn things. I can't use them with my wheels of course. As you can see, they come with their own stock size bolt and the lock will only fit that bolt...sucks. The keys have Audi stamped on them. They are $22 each...$88 for the set of 4 locks!!!
