I bought my car with some weird black colored 7 sided lug nuts and my tires are bald. I mean bald, as in slicks with absolutely no tread left. I called several shops around me, went to every automotive store there is and went to Americas Tire today and still no luck, no one can remove them. America's Tire suggest they just break them loose and put regular ones back on. Is this my only choice?

 

cant find the key to the lug nuts huh? if u find out wat company made em u can get the sizing i think? not sure...

 

I googled it and got a few results which include Ray's Engineering and Kyokugen. They had 7 sided lug nut products. I think I got the Kyokugen ones. They don't sell just the lug nut socket tho I think..or at least not in any sites I've seen.

I never even had the socket, I didn't lose them. My car didn't come with anything, no jack, no spare tire, my whole trunk is gutted.

 

you can buy a socket that looks kinda like an inside out drill. you tighten it to the lug nuts and then loosen them off. it ruins the nuts so have a new set ready.

 

Just break them off and replace them. It shouldnt be a lot for new ones, and its not even worth the hassle.

 

if thosre are kyokugen ones id let them get trashed removing then then throtw them away and get somethig that is a bit more durable like gorilla spline nuts.
