i lost the lock to my locking lug nuts a month ago and my rims r way to close to the nut to put a bigger socket around it to take it out. its the kind that has like a star shape in it but you cant get anything into the locking nut because the stud stickes out of it. so im at a dead end and i need help. i thought about going to the tires store and seeing if they can do it.any help?

snap on makes a lock remover, the tire store should have it on hand

GM made locking lugs. Probably not this guys..but they did.
Do you have aftermarket rims or live in a bad area? If no to both..locks are fail.

i dont use locks on my car, but my lugs do use a special hex tool. i dont understand locks anyway considering anyone with a brain can get it off, even without the 'right' socket.

heres what they look like. i dont have much room between lug and rim to fit anything btween it though. idk if the snap on set will work on it

my rims are elbus rims. yeah theyre after market

if you have a socket you dont mind destroying... you can find one that you can slip between the stud and the lock. and take it out that way...

i already tried that but it chewed up the outside of the lock nut and the rim around the nut
11-03-2011
no push the socket between the lock and the stud on the inside. if you were rubbing the rim you were on the outside.

theres like a star patern inside i and id have to use a small sized socket to fit it between them. i tried that to lol
11-03-2011
Where did you get the locking lugs?
11-03-2011
they were on the car when i got them. i just put them on when i got new rims because i didnt want them stolen. but i lost um. im trying everything
11-03-2011
should i just buy the wheel lock kit and try that?
11-03-2011
