If you keep it with your spare tire wrench, they probably used that one.
They might have wheel lock keys. There's different brands though. I use Gorilla wheel locks which are different than McGard wheel locks There are four different Gorilla wheel lock key sizes.

The easiest thing to do is to visually look at your rotors. New ones have no rust on the edges or hat area (section that is raised and contains the bolt holes.

you usually have one in your car


only time it's been an issue I can think of is with my BBS's and I've had the key in my car

Happened to my wife in her Nissan. They told her they couldn't rotate the tires because of those locks but she never got them from the dealership.

they usually know it's in 2 of the most common places... either in the rear where the jack or the spare is or in the glovebox.

if it's not there the main dealerships usually can get them off.

You can get duplicate Wheel lock keys at the dealership.

Infiniti had a master to my wheel locks but I think they put them on at that dealership too... I'm second owner though so I'm not sure.

You steal rims for a living?

It's more of a hobby for most cats.
