I was cleaning my wheels today and guess what.....when I tried to open the last nut, on the last wheel to be cleaned I "rung" out the little wheel nut for opening the locking nut on the standard M Sport wheels.......anyone know where I can pick up a cheap one?

Wait, so I understand, you wore out the key for the locking lugnut?? Did you get the nut off or were you not able to? If you couldnt get the lugnut off and the key doesnt work they sell kits to help or you can buy a socket that is slightly smaller than the lug nut and pound it on with a hammer... then just use the socket wrench to take it off and pound it out of the socket when done.
On a side note, you take your wheels off to clean them??? I know people do this but it just seems like too much work for a wash...

When you buy wheel locks (if that's what you're talking about), they come with a card that has a code to replace the key if lost or in your case broken. Take that to the dealer and get a new key (may have to be ordered). I can't see it costing too much as the whole set of locks and key is only like $30
