alright so my brother takes my car to get the wheels aligned/balanced and the people said after the first wheel was taken off that the lug key was "already stripped. now weather it was or not stripped by them, i need to get a new one. my problem is that they are enkei rs5's. I tried enkies web site to contact them to purchase a new one and theres no contact. do you guys have any idea on how to get the right key and how to tell them which one it is? I am so lost on this

My locking lug nuts came with a registration number, and a card to mail in to order a new key in the event the old one was lost or damaged, so you might try finding out if you have one of those?

yea they cut the wheel lug key back enough to get the tire back on and to spec but didnt try the other wheels. it is fine i just need to get the key. maybe ill take it to pep boys to see if they can finish it up but i still need a new lug key.
Also I don think i got anything like that with the type and there are no identifying marks on it

Go to a wheel/rim shop that sells enkei rims,odds are they can get in touch with the manufacture.Thats what we did but we had lost a center cap or some chrome rims for the truck....

actually no . these were tuner style lug nuts . not no auto zone cheapy.. the ones with the key that go into the lugs not around them like the auto zone specials.

get pep boys to take your lugs off, and they actually sell tuner lugs that the key goes inside the lug, and it comes with 20 lugs and 2 keys for $29 i think
