Hello All,

This is my first post and I am hoping for some help. The fools at my local tire place stripped out the lug bolt key for my wheels. I have been all over town, including the Audi dealership, and no one can tell me where to get a replacement. The bolts came with the car, and they were holding on a set of 17" CSA rims. They have a head diameter of 1". The key has 8 splines, 7 of which are evenly spaced. The 8th is positioned right after the 7th, leaving a large uninterrupted gap in the inner diameter of the key. I can send anyone who offers to help some pics. I can't use a lug remover bit because there is no room to get in in there in the rim hole. I figure my last ditch effort is to buy a 1" socket and file it it fit, which will take me a good few hours. Literally "driven" nuts here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One other thing. The only marking on the key is the number 22 on the inside.

a local aftermarket rim shop should carry thouse. Its a pretty common spline key for accorn lugs
