This has happen to me in the passed and i will tell you how i got mine off.

get some Wd40 spray locking lug with a litlle of it (not much and try to get it in the center where threads are, wd40 is use to losen the lock easier)

Next take a socket (1/2 drive) that you dont really care for that is just tight to go on lock.
You want it to be kinda tight because you are going to hammer it on there,so thats why I said use a socket you dont care for.
If you have a impact gun it better but if you have a breaker bar that will work also.

Now hammer socket onto lock and becarful not to hit your rim (ouch )
Now once the socket is on ,take your impact gun or breaker bar and losen it slowly and it should come off.
if not use a smaller socket that fits tighter(if you used a standard use a milimeters) and you will get them off with patience

Ps. they do sell wheel lock remover kits http://www.afrema.com/ProductsImages...oval%20Kit.jpg which is on the same idea ,my way is cheaper
Good luck

Yeah, these things can be defeated. Repzard knows what he is talking about.

Sure these methods work fine if you have the external type lockers, but what if he has the kind where the key slips in on the inside of the lug?
