Wheel lock key missing

[wishuwerehere82]

Hi,

I recently purchased a 1998 C5 with 7500 mi. and the previous owner told me that when he took the car to a wholesaler for a month to sell it, he was missing the build sheet, owners manual, license plate frames, 2nd key fob, spare keys, and the wheel lock key when he got it back.
I am concerned enough that my spare keys and fob are floating around in public, but the wheel lock key is going to cause me a problem when the tires wear out.
Can I get a new wheel lock key from the dealership, or am I going to have to weld a shaft onto them to get them off?
Would you have it re-keyed as well? It makes me nervous that it won't be there some day.

Hi there,
Any good service center can remove your wheel locks in short order.
As for the key, you might want to have it changed. This requires you to rekey the lock cylinder and cut new keys.
$35 a key as I recall.
Allthebest, c4c5
