SND 16" Rims on W126 need key

Hi
Just purchased a 83 SEC w SND rims.
They have a lock & I don;t have a key.

Looks like you need the key to pop the hub to get to the lugs

I can't find any info on this brand but have been told they are Centra so I am hoping somehow I can obtain a replacement key.
It is a round key with a 4 leaf clover design.

Any info on company would be greatly appreciated.

If they are standard does anyone have a copy of these keys that they could possibly copy for reimbursement?

Thanks

Those looks like Centra rims, the same on my SDL. I got mine from recycler and used flat head philips screwdriver.Hammered on the edge of the key to loosen it. Yes it was nicked but I filed it smooth and reused them.

Secret is to use flat headed screwdriver on the key groove and twist it. If it is too hard for u, use lockable vice grip. That is how I was able to lock and unlock my keys when necessary. Good luck.

I haven't dealt with the wheel issue yet
Had a cooling problem
now maybe door lock/ignition..
Need to get license brackets

Was hoping to find the darn key somewhere in the car

They say SND

It has been said its not too hard to get off wo key
but I don;t want to chop up the wheel as I want to use them

I hope its not too bad

Thanks

Was the previous owner unavailable or unable to help you figure out where the key was?
