My 1998 Camaro z8 LS1 donor had wheel locks on it and the adapter ius nowhere to be found.

Where can I buy/borrow the adapter ?

The car is a parts car so it cant be driven to the dealership. If I bring my title in, can they give me the right adapter ?

Can you even buy these things ?

if they are factory locks the dealership should have a master set of keys. getting them to let you borrow them might be difficult. i had the same problem except i bought the car not knowing it had locks and no key. a tire store took a air hammer to them and basically broke them off.

I know the same thing happen to a car I bought before but it was a drivable car so I just drove to the dealer and they let me undo them in the parking lot.

I went to peboys and even with me offering them a 100$ deposit, they wouldnt let me borrow theirs... :rolleyes:

They worked perfectly.
