Default Lost the key for the locking wheel nuts

I lost the key to remove the locking wheel nuts on my car.

They are Subaru nuts.

Will Subaru be able to provide me with a key?

If it's the 3 stud type I have a spare. Worth a try, PM me address and I'll post it.

Cheers

If all else fails take the car to a tyre fitter who should be able to remove them in minutes using the thieves chosen method of a socket and hammer.

I doubt he is unless he has never pinched a set of wheels before.
I am a thirty something office worker and even i know how scum pinch wheels without a locking nut key. One socket fits all so to speak
