you can go to sears or wherever you go for tools, and buy a set of sockets that you whack onto the lug with a hammer, it will grab it and take it off.

I think snap-on makes a special socket for removing locks without the key. I'd also call around to a few local shops and ask if they have a tool to remove them instead of buying one

I've taken a liking to the Plasma Cutter




No but seriously all key's are the same. wherever you bought your key go back there and buy the same one

Hahah.... if someone really wants your wheels, those lockers aren't gonna do anything for you. Buy a bunch of sockets at harbor freight, pound them on and take them off and throw them out and get regular 1/2" lugs.

I have keys... If they're going to steal my rims I'm going to make them work for it.
