If you need the key for the lock then just go to the dealership. They have a master key set there and once they figure out which key it is they can order it for you.

I'm pretty sure those are aftermarket / non dealer items.

Go to a tire shop, they can get the ones that are on the car off using a socket that bites onto the lock bolt... once off, you can buy a new set with key from the tire shop.

This is quicker than trying to find a correct matching key to fit the ones that are currently on the vehicle.
