Lost Lug Nut Key

So I get all excited because my Tokico Illumina shocks/struts & springs finally arrive, and I get everything ready to put them on. I have a set of 03 Chrome Cobra Replicas by AFS Wheels on my car, so I went to get the lug lock key out of my glove box, where I always keep it. I looked inside, and it was nowhere to be found! I ransacked my car looking for it, and moved on to the rest of my garage, and on to the rest my house with no luck at all . This sucks two fold because for one, I can't put the parts on my car, but more importantly, two if I get a flat I can't use the spare since I won't be able to get the wheel off.

That was 4 days ago.

I called AFS Monday morning and they were happy to tell me which key number I needed, and they promised to search their warehouse for any extra keys and or entire lug sets with the matching key number. I felt relieved. They called me back and revealed that they had no more keys at all, and that there was nothing else they could do for me. I asked if they would at least tell me the name of the company that made the locks so that I could at least call them and ask for help. The receptionist got her supervisor on the phone and she told me that she didn't think that they were allowed to disclose that information to me . She promised to call me back in a couple of days after she had talked to the owner about the situation.

Since I had grown impatient with their promises, I called quite a few wheel/tire shops near me to ask them for help/advice. Each shop was kind enough to educate me that I was in a tight spot and that there was nothing that they could do for me, unless I was willing to have my wheels destroyed in the process. The last place I called was the Goodyear shop up the road from me, and they said that they could take them off without damaging the wheel for $90 a piece. I pondered about why it was that that many shops told me that this was impossible to do without damaging the wheel, and then how the Goodyear people think that they are going to solve my problem. After that, I quit calling places and ransacked my house again.

I am a student earning lifeguard wages, so another $360 after I carefully saved and budgeted for the Tokico Equipment is shot in the kidneys to my bank account. If you have any suggestions/ideas/advice/sympathy to give me, please let me have it.

I have no idea what to do.

Thanks for your sympathy guys, I appreciate it.

MyEarsHurt: I disassembled the glove box and couldn’t find it back there. You gave me hope.

dmsead: I’m not sure if those would work or not, but I can’t be sure from the picture. The locks I have a perfectly circular metal lip encasing the torque-ing edge to prevent just clamping on to the outside of the thing and twisting it off. I’ve got a good picture of it, let’s see it I can post it somehow.

Does anybody else have any ideas?

Here's a picture of it....

stallion98gt: I only wish that there was a Wheel Works here in GA.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll update as soon as I can figure something out.
