and no wheel lock key anywhere to be found. He doesn't remember what he did with it but my guess is he left it on the wheel. Of course it's not there now. Am I better to try and order a replacement key from the dealer or just break off the locks?

Depends on what you want to do. We had a different key for the spare than the main tires on one of my SUVs, and we

They do, but that's not helpful if you get a flat somewhere and need to swap out for a spare.

The key is unique to the vehicle. Only thing they can do is break it off.

Oreilly Auto had a replacement for mine when I lost it for $4.

Locksmith can figure out a new key for you.

Uh, what's the point of a lock if you can break it off easily?

Read Kccoug's post below. It's not exactly easy. They were able to get mine to luckily spin without using the torch.

I once lost the key to my lug bolts and couldn't find a replacement key anywhere
