Yeah I'll have to try Sears or Costco. Went to Costco today to try and buy PSS and the salesperson was extremely unhelpful.

I told the salesperson about my plans to step up to wider wheels and he started talking down to me about how my car will lose gas mileage and how it "won't turn right."

I've seen many people fit 225/45/R17s on their stock wheels without issue. Guess Costco isn't very turner friendly.

That's lame. Try sears or another tire shop then... who don't have stupid OE only sale policies.

If you buy the tires online and have them shipped to your closest costco, they will be somewhat forced to install them for you.

I had this issue when i was trying to get 255s for my 17x9s, the salesman wouldn't sell them to me cause he said I'd rub my stock struts even though I told him I was on coils.

I bought them online anyways and had them shipped to livermore costco, brought the car in and the employees had no issues installing it, no questions asked

Yes they are the OEM ones , I even stumbled upon the actual sticker for my car and it said I purchased wheel locks !

I am not sure just any key works since I believe we tried my friend's and it was no use !

Going to drop by the dealership and ask why I did not get one , like why am I even carrying a spare wheel if I do not have the key to take the wheel off ?!!?!!

did you look everywhere in the car for it? I think when my car was delivered, the original package for the locks had the key and the original 4 lugs removed and it was tucked away somewhere in the car. check glove box, truck, under the cover where the spare is, cupholders, under the seats...

Damn that sucks. From the exhaust it looks like a 328/330. Is it a manual?
