Default Cobra rim lug lock....??

I bought a 94 GT and it has some Cobra R's on it. I went to take them off because I have to change the ball joints and tie rod end, but there is a lug lock on 2 of the 4 tires. I called the guy I bought it from, and he lost it. So, my question is, are there any methods or places I can get the key so I can get these things off? I have new rims and tires on the way, so I'm open to suggestions!

One way that we used to do it is get a two sockets that are just too small for the lock and pound it over the lock. That's probably the only way if its recessed real far. Shops usually don't charge a ton to do something like that, one might even have a tool to fit those specific ones.

You can also just buy some locks at Autozone that use the same key. The lock sets come with keys.

Most tire shops mechanics have a good selection of keys too.

This lug doesnt have an actual key, it's just a straight lug with a different pattern on it at the bottom.

you need a Bolt-Grip Set

I just remove the locks off my car with one b/c I lost my key.

They look like a regular socket, but on the inside if has 5 teeth that twist into the socket. when you put it on, you hammer it into place, then twist the old lugs off

Really easy. Advance Autoparts and Autozone should have them
