I have four key lugnuts one on all four of my tires. it is there if you do not know what i am talking about so people can not steal your rims/tires. you use a special key that fits into it and then the crowbar fits on to that to loosen it. Well my question is does any body have any suggestions on how to get these special lugnuts off if the lugnuts them selfs are stripped (Just the special key lugnuts). the key works fine bc i have taken the two front tires off with it but the back two tires are stripped. Any suggestions are helpful or tool suggestions to use.

Ok when you say stripped, do you mean the area where the key goes is stripped on the lug nut or the special lug nut thread is stripped ie: the key works but lug nut just turns in one place? If its the key area on the lug nut thats stripped, they sell a socket that has teeth in the inside, when used with an impact gun, the teeth will sink into the outer part of lug nut, therefore being able to turn and remove it. Not sure where you can buy it though. Will let you know if I find out who sells it.

Here is the tool I'm talking about. Can try looking for it locally, might be cheaper.
