  • need to take locked wheels off without key

    two of my front wheels are locked with the key lock lugs, and i never got a key, so how do i take the wheels off? go to some shop? i have lugs to put on later so all i need is to take these mofos off, to put on front spacers, and roll the fenders all around. i have a feeling if i hear another tire scrape, they will blow

    and the car in question

    If they look like torx bolts then they are factory and the dealership will take them off for you (I had 5th ave do this for me).

    If they look like the star pattern then they have ways of getting those off too.

    If they are the ones that C1 sells then they are pretty easy but I'm not going to say how on here

    Edit: your car looks really good.

          ^LOL. Maybe you could use your teeth? my bro works at kal tire and they just use this socket that has teeth and you just hammer it on and twist em off.

            some shops have a kit with a bunch of lock nut keys or if worst comes to worst weld a lever on there and pry it off.

                Sadly that's how the people I know from Winterpeg steal wheels from each other....

                  i had the same problem. George at tunedub has a box full of basically every possible key, so he can get them off for you. once we figured out which lock mine is he ordered a replacement key for me for like 20 bucks.
