Wheel Lock Question

Hello all, I like many others on here had the unfortunate experience of not receiving my wheel lock key when purchasing my rx8. Because I was having winter tires put on today at NTB, I just had them break open the locks and they didnt charge me.

Unfortunately though, they did not have a lugnut that fit. I had no idea lugnuts were different. I don't want another wheel lock since it seems like more of a hassle than its worth for me, so where should I go for the replacement lugnut on each tire? NTB by me did not have one that fit...

Thanks everybody. Right now, I only have four on each wheel so I want to get this done relatively quickly. Thanks again.

I forgot where people said it was. But I think people said they found it somewhere in the trunk. Maybe under the liner/carpet? I'm not sure, can't find the post. Some said they also found it in the glovebox. I think in an envelope? or something.
Try searching the trunk and glovebox.

Thanks for the response Briann, but I don't think you understood my question. I already checked the glove box and trunk for the wheel lock key and it was not there. I needed NTB to just break open the wheel lock and I was planning on having them replace them with a standard lugnut. So my question is, where can I go to get a lugnut that fits this car in place of the wheel lock?

Thanks...

Oops, my baddd. guess I didn't read it/comprehend it fully.
Darkbrew's post is correct i think. 12mmX1.5 are the size.
That site has different colors. Get some that match your wheels or just blue or red ones. lol

No problem Briann, and thanks for the post guys. Do you guys know of a good link that sells only 4? I dont really need to replace all lug nuts or get a set of 20 do I?

Thanks again everybody! By the way, had Pirelli Snow Sport 240's installed today, 18" and kept the stock rims for winter. If anybody wants a review, just let me know... So far, very very pleased.

If you want standard lugs the Mazda dealer should have piles of them lying around...
