As the title says, I need a replacement wheel lock key. Is the dealer the only option here or are there other less expensive places I could get them from?

ive got the bullet style locking lug nuts, they were on the car when i bought it-and guess what he didnt give me the socket.

i saw them in mustangs unlimited, if i bought a new set would that work or are they all slightly different?

+1 - getting stranded on the side of the road once due to a broken key was enough for me to rip them all off.

Not to mention if someone wants your wheels, they can easily get past the stock locks. Took a dealer 30 seconds to get a wheel lock off a wheel without a key. Just put some kind of special socket on a wrench slammed it on there and presto a few turns and the wheel lock was removed.
I'm sure the average joe could get that same socket if they wanted.
