other members may have the same lock. check with a subaru shop/dealer if there is one near by. they may have a master set.

Spline?
If it is the typical spline (Gorilla, etc) I picked up a key at Ron's...they charged me like $13. Otherwise, I went on Ebay and picked one up before as well...

GORILLA 1921SD KEY 6 SPLINE WHEELS RIM LOCK LUG NUTS REPLACEMENT 1.5 1.25 MUTEKI | eBay

TRUCK SPLINE TUNER LUG NUT TOOL KEY FITS 7 SPLINE LUGS | eBay

Check how many splines...

If you got OEM wheel locks they should come with a card, which has the key ID on it. You contact the company that makes the wheel lock, and give them your ID. They will remake you one or should.

Had this same thing happen to my old Del Sol. Took it to Tony Honda and they charged me $40 to get all 4 off. Plus it was reall fun watching the service guys drool over my all original Del Sol SI.
