Hi All -
I came out to find a flat this afternoon. No worries, grabbed a floor jack and planned to take it in for repair. I pulled all of the lugs and the wheel would not budge - I thought it was frozen to the rotor hub. Spun the wheel around and found this lock very well hidden under what looked like a stock lug! I found that there is another on the other front wheel as well. I bought the car in December and I have no key - and per the pics, they both look to have different index pins. Can someone tell me what brand these are? I am dead in the water until I can find a key (keys?).  Usually I would just bang a socket on a lock, but there is no way to do that with these. I am really bummed. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Scott S Attached image(s)
