I have a 97 with the locking lugnuts and a big right rear flat and no adaptor for the lugnut. Fortunately fix a flat got it home but it's flat again and looks like I'm stranded. I'm in Miami - where can I get the adaptor for these *%$# locknuts???

you need the original paperwork that came with the locking lug - there is a special code you need so that you can order a replacement key. Otherwise, limp to a tire shop and let them hack away. Not having a key for a locking lug is just as bad as not having a spare...or getting in a car accident the one day you don't wear underwear...

It's not the key kind - it's the atlantic british type with like a round thing that fits over the stainless cap that has a normal bolt on the end.

yeah, it's a round lug nut with a squiggly pattern embedded in it, right? The piece that you insert into your lug wrench that fits into the squiggles so you can get some purchase on the round lug is called the key.
