Take it to a shop theyll take it off for you.

Either that or go back to the maker of the locks and ask for a new key.

don't go telling everyone this cause this is how u'll get your rims stolen. u goto a auto parts store and buy some 12 point sockets (they should only cost a couple bucks a piece) that are thin walled and just barely not fit over your lug nuts and pound them bitches on with a hammer and take em right off. if ur rims are made so that they use the reverse socket type ones then u have to goto a shop.

I have never tried this but it has crossed my mind many times when i was just thinking about how someone could get lugnuts off with out the key. What i would try and do is drill a hole into the end of the lug nut, and go to sears and buy one of the bigger ez-out bits that can take alot of tourqe with out breaking. If the nuts are not on there to tight it should spin them off.

When I had these 'gay' lugnuts that had a weakass key that stripped, I used this GatorGrip (As Seen on TV) socket from Target.

Somehow I think a theif that's going hunting for rims will already know how to get wheel locks off. They are just a good way to scare of the rookie theif.
