Went to go change out my spark plugs and turns out i don't have the locking socket to take my wheels off. They are stock rims.. anyone know where i can get another?

 

Your gonna have to pay the dealership to order those for you.

 

or just go to a wheel shop and have them take them off for you. most can do it and then will just replace with other locking lugs (or non-locking) that you can buy from them. usually cheaper that way.

 

You look new, did you check the trunk storage area to see if you have the key lug? There is a small compartment in the corner of the trunk on the floor farthest to the rear where the jack is. I thought at first the first time I looked to remove my rims the same thing. Looking further I found the key lug where the jack was stored.

 

The locks come from McGard

So check the jack area in the trunk and check the glove box
OR See if you have the key code with your manual

If all else fails, take a picture of the lock and they will match it and send out a key for around $20

Really you should go to a good wheel shop and they will remove the locks.

 

No one is going to steal stock rims. Mine were stripped out from being removed over the years. I took the car to a mechanic around the corner and he removed them for me and put my stock lugs on for $20. Done deal!

 

If someone does, likely they are a 6 or 3 owner; I hear they love our stock rims

 

Wheels locks just seem to lock owners out of there own vehicles more than prevent theft..

 

lol that is funny

i cant even imagine getting a note like that

 

LMAO so i found it, it was in the rear center console storage. the one that is inbetween the rear seats and locks... dumb me, newbie to the rx8 business, but still haven't change my spark plugs, wires, and coils...

 

I was going to suggest you look there when I noticed no one else told you to look there. That's where I keep mine. I believe that's where Mazda puts it (inside a yellow envelope) when the car is shipped to the dealership.

 

They do in Detroit!

 

^someone carved that into my wheels on my own car when they couldn't get the spline drive lugs off
