or just go to a wheel shop and have them take them off for you. most can do it and then will just replace with other locking lugs (or non-locking) that you can buy from them. usually cheaper that way.

You look new, did you check the trunk storage area to see if you have the key lug? There is a small compartment in the corner of the trunk on the floor farthest to the rear where the jack is. I thought at first the first time I looked to remove my rims the same thing. Looking further I found the key lug where the jack was stored.

The locks come from McGard
So check the jack area in the trunk and check the glove box
OR See if you have the key code with your manual

If all else fails, take a picture of the lock and they will match it and send out a key for around $20
Really you should go to a good wheel shop and they will remove the locks.

No one is going to steal stock rims. Mine were stripped out from being removed over the years. I took the car to a mechanic around the corner and he removed them for me and put my stock lugs on for $20. Done deal!

LMAO so i found it, it was in the rear center console storage. the one that is inbetween the rear seats and locks... dumb me, newbie to the rx8 business, but still haven't change my spark plugs, wires, and coils...

I was going to suggest you look there when I noticed no one else told you to look there. That's where I keep mine. I believe that's where Mazda puts it (inside a yellow envelope) when the car is shipped to the dealership.
