wheel locks

i just bought these gorilla wheel locks, 12mm x 1.25, the lug fits on fine, but the key is to big for my wrench....i have a wrx 04, does anyone know the right size locks i should get? dunno whether to just sell these or get a wrench just for the key???

You bought wheel locks or a installation kit? (Wheel locks will come packed w/ 5 items - 4 locks & 1 key; installation kit has all the lugs, locks, stems & key.) Are you saying that the socket that you use to fasten the lugs does not fit on to the key? Or that the key won't unlock the locks?

I don't understand. Does the key not fit the lock, or does the lock not fit into the socket that you use for the rest of the lugs? If the key does not fit the lock, try to return it or order the correct key (there should be a code w/ the locks, and w/ that code you can order another key). If you need to use another size socket for the lock vs the nut lugs...well, that happens sometimes. BTW did you get the lock set from the dealer?
