Key for Arbet Rims
Hello everyone, I have a sort of embarrasing question/statement to ask.
Im looking for a way to get another key to get to the lug nuts of my rims.
To make a long storey short, i dont have the original key.
The manufactor's name of the rims is Arbet. I searched everywhere for a web site and local dealers but to no avail.
So if anyone could help me out i would greately appriciate it.
Thanks,

Thanks for trying but that those links are for locking lug nuts, i dont have a problem with that. The actual rim has a centerpiece that has a special little key that twists off revealing the lug nuts. Thats my problem

Have you tried just to shove a screwdriver into the hubcap that covers the lugnuts ? Pry it off real careful like ? Or emailing the company and having them send you a key.... though that would make steeling the rims easy..... were do you live ? could you give me an adress perhaps.

Never heard of "Arbet." Are you sure they're not "Borbet?"
If worse comes to worse you can punch and drill the locks out. Then a locksmith can probably make you new ones.

It definatly says Arbet and i've searched everywhere on the net for a place that sells the rims, nothing even comes up.
I dont realy want to pry the cap off because of damaging the chrome = / .
Right now if i cant find anyone/anyway of getting a key or in touch with someone that can get me a key, i will just mold my own. ... At least try to.
BTW: I live in the middle of pa, place called Mt. Pleasant Mills

Hahah, i was impling that emailing the company and getting a spare key made would be easy, and then having that key i could steal your rims! Now all i have to do is go to Mt. Plesant Mills, and do it, and have some rims..... Unless you knew this.... and want me to drive from WA to PA, for no reason, and waste my time..... Oh well, its worth a try, See ya soon!

Lol, sorry for the small missunderstanding, and thanks everyone for helping.
What i think im going to end up doing is making my own key.
Im going to get a piece of hard maple drill holes in it about the size of the blunt end of a drill bit and im going to glue them into the piece of maple.
Hopfuly it comes off
