Locking lug bolt adapter "missing"?

I just purchased a set of rims with winter tires for Pico, my chilly pepper red clubman this weekend and am really stoked as I got a great deal. Living in Northern Vermont I'm already thinking winter and was checking to make sure I had everything needed to do the tire change when the time called for it. I cannot find the locking adapter for the lug bolts anywhere. (Good thing I haven't had a flat!)
Where can I get one? And what is all these codes I'm seeing listed? Thanks for the help in advance!

Gerry

If they are Mini OEM, you have to go to the Mini dealer. Hopefully they know the code there. If you have some paper work such as the packaging, it would help them. Thus is why I stopped using locking keys.

Thanks slinger688, but I'm an idiot. I keep looking for the dealer who I purchased the car from to drop the ball but it hasn't happened. Auto Wholesalers in Hooksett NH is excellent by my experience. I told them I was missing the spare tire for my Clubman (they do not come with one for the S model with runflats, I didn't know) but the dealer ordered a new spare with tire kit, also sent me a new tensioner for the timing chain, had two keys when I got the car, the list goes on and on. And now, just when I thought I found something, the lug lock adapter and spare lugs were in the glove box in a box with the paper work!
Who ever owned this car before, as well as the dealer, treated it right. And it has been like buying a new car!
Thanks again for your response!

Gerry
