You should get a code number with the car/locks that you can use to order a new key.
I don't think the code that works for the car keys is the same one that works for the wheel locks. The wheel locks come in their own packaging and are an option.

I believe he's suggesting that the locks came with an identifier used to order new keys.

Oh, I see. My locks did not have a code in the package that they came in, and they were a honda product.

Wheel locks are more trouble than they're worth. Get rid of them. Even if you don't lose the key, you're more likely to get accidental scuffs and scratches on your wheels during service.

You'll save weight too since you won't have to carry that heavy key around.

Any tire shop that has a welder can get them off. They temp weld a socket to the locks, and take them off. Pretty standard. Should cost about $15-$20 dollars a lock.
