HELP!

So about 3 weeks ago I swapped wheels since I blew a tire, and I could have sworn I put the wheel lock key back in the black bag along with the lug wrench. Today, I went to ETD tire to get my wheels/tires balanced and get an alignment. Well they asked me to get the wheel lock key for them, and I said, "sure, it's in the trunk." Well, i pop the trunk, pull the bag out, and low and behold, NO FACKIN KEY! I was and still am PISSED.

I know I put it back in there. I can replay it in my head and I see myself putting it in the bag. WTF DUDE.

I keep my wheels at a storage facility and swapped wheel theres. I'm going to drive over there after work and check to see if I get lucky enough to find my wheel key in the parking lot. I HOPE TO GOD I CAN FIND IT.

If I can't, what do I do?

Do I risk messing up my wheels trying to get it off with a larger socket or this? http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-3355-lock-technology-40025.aspx
Is there anything Mitsubishi can do like order me a new key or something?

HELP!!!

Are they OEM Mitsubishi wheel locks? If so the dealer has a kit of all the keys and can find you the right one and sell you a replacement key.

Most Mitsu dealerships keep a master set in-stock and will sell you the one you need.

About half as much as mlomker though :) That's probably right about factory spec.

haha. It's in the green range so it must be in spec. Less is more, less is more. :D

Awesome, looks good. That much toe will be fine, but I would still rotate tires regularly.
