3rd Generation lug nut key problem

hi everyone,
well today i popped my tire by running over some type of nail but the thing is wen i went to change the wheel to a spare i couldnt find the lug key anywhere so i had to drive with a flat to Tire Plus they told me that they could take out the lug locks and replace them with regualr ones for around 75.00! I was like .... no thanks and asked to put the spare on for me. But i was just woundering if a scion tc, 02 corolla , or 07 sienna lug key would fit or is thier anything to replace it at pep boys or autozone

thanks kevin

You can't just use another wheel key from a different car, you have to find the one that is keyed specifically to the kit that is installed on yours. The dealership that installed them should have a master set, so you can go there and at least have the locks taken off. Then you can either put on four normal lug nuts or go somewhere and buy another set.

This happened to my Skyline before and the wheels shop hammered a socket one size smaller than the lock nut/lug, obviously you need a new nut/lug.

goodluck
