so i lost the key to my locking lug nuts and i dont have the packaging it came in to get a new one from the company (came on the car when i bought it) so how would i go about getting them off without the key?

 

have fun get a set of turbo sockets . the kind with the teeth in them beat it on the lug and tyake it off . its one hell of a pita

 

Sears makes lock removers, like $30 a set I believe. Take a pic of them and I can probably tell you who makes them.

Get a set of Gorillas next time, and stay away from spline drives, they are the easiest to get off for stealing wheels, a standard 6-point socket fits all the locks perfectly so anyone can jack them with minimal effort.

 

i cant help but i just want to say i cant believe sears sells a lock remover set. why buy fences= they build ladders, why use a lock= they make bolt cutters why by a portable safe???? i dont get it sometimes.

 

Hammer on a socket one size too small. You'll ruin the lug, and possibly the socket if it isn't impact, but you'll get them off.

Locking lug nuts are a useless marketing ploy. If someone really wants your rims, they'll get your locking lug nut off.

 

thats what i was thinking of doing, as for them being useless i understand what you mean but i have had people try to steal my wheels at least a handful of times and never got them (a bunch of my lug nuts were loose and on 2 occasions were completely taken off) so i do like having them

and all the ones i have bought i keep the packaging for so in situations like this i could get a replacement key. only problem here is these were on the car when i bought it so i dont have the packaging, but thanks for all the input from everyone ill be trying the socket thing on tues or wed and if it doesnt work ill check sears for what ryan said
