P1 Prodrive Subaru Wheel Locks / Different sizes?
I've got 17" P1 Oz Prodrive Rims with wheel locks on my wrx 03. I lost the key.... I already purchased one pair from a subaru dealership and it doesnt fit. I looks like it should but doesnt. How many different "size" subaru locks are there? Thank you
If you can't find a key that works, you can hammer an 18 mm or 19 mm socket over the wheel lock with a sledge hammer, and it should come off with a half inch drive ratchet. If you can't get the socket to fit, grind the inside down a bit with a dremel. After you get it on, let it cool before removing it. I would get rid of the wheel locks. I had one strip out and one crack. Glad I found out before my car actually had a flat. And with the socket removal, if someone really wants your wheels, they can find a way to steal them if they are prepared.
Good luck.

You dont even have to use a 18 or 19mm socket they have cone shaped sockets that you slap on with a light hammer thrust and wheel locks come right off with no grinding or modification to the socket needed. Making wheel locks pretty much a bling mod. I am pretty sure almost every tire shop has one, just befriend someone at your local shop and i am sure they will take them off. Unless the manager is whack, DAMN THE MAN ALWAYS PUTTING US DOWN.

Again my car is wrecked and I cannot drive it. I do have a buddy with a brother that works on cars that said he would remove them for me. Anyone need parts from a 03 WRX?
