Factory wheel lock??? 93 FD

I just now noticed that I can not find my wheel lock I dont know if its aftermarket or factory? Its smooth around and its has a swirl design in the middle... If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. If not Im just gonna have to break it and risk messing up my wheels.... from what Ive been told its factory stock lock... Other question can I just purchase the lock at the dealership? Please if anyone can help...

Typically, dealerships won't (or can't but probably the first) order replacement keys. They can remove the keys from your car. Just have them remove the keys, and buy a set of aftermarket lug nuts to use instead. The keys only stop the owner from removing the wheels. Any halfway decent thief will have no problems getting those keys off.

If your wheels are still nice, I'd just have the dealership take it off. They have a key for every oem lock. Then buy some new locks and don't lose the key.

Had your problem, went to sealership, they had a small case of locks. They came out to the car and found the correct one and I then had to buy it (cheaper than them removing the locks and keeping the key). got 4 normal lug nuts and replaced the useless locks (only good at keeping the wheels safe from me). These days who would steal the original FD rims anyway. the old locks and key now sit in a plastic bag in my closet never to stop me from working on my brakes again....
