I had factory locks on my 2001 Audi A6. Discount Tire lost the key but I didnt notice until months later. Eric's method didn't work since there was no room to get a socket around the lock (recessed and too narrow). Had to weld a nut to the lock on all four wheels to get it off so I could take off my winter tires. What a pain.

Re: Wheel locks
Shannon, it’s good to know that cars will still be here, AND still run on wheels In 2091! Of course most of us won’t be around to see it
