First off, I hope that I have posted this in the right place. Second, I have searched on here but I cant find the answer I am looking for, so here is my question/problem...

I have a set of Mugen lugs on my 95 DC2 (on there when I bought the car), and the guy that I bought the car from, didnt supply me the locking lug nut key for the lugs. I have talked to him since the purchase and he has told me that he believes that a NSX locking lug nut key will work to take the locking lug nut off. He also told me that he lost the lug key for the Mugen lugs and had ordered another set and would send me the lugs/lug key as soon as he got it. This conversation about ordering the new Mugen lugs and sending them to me took place about a week before x-mas, minutes before I wrecked my car.

Now I know you guys are thinking that I should call him back and see what the deal is, but every since the day I bought the car, he has been telling me that he would send me the reciept for the motor and the stock cluster, and I have yet to recieve those items to date after many conversations about sending them. So I am really not expecting to recieve the lugs and key that he "ordered".

Now that I have jumped on somewhat of a soap-box, I am going to get back to the question at hand. Does anyone know if I order another set of Mugen lugs, like the ones I have now, if the lug key from the new set will work on my lock lug I have now? Or do each set of Mugen lugs have a different pattern on the lock lug? Also, does anyone know, for a fact, that the NSX lug key will work for the Mugen lugs? If anyone could help me here, it would be greatly appreciated b/c the tires that are on the front are flat-spotted and I will be needing to replace those when the car gets out of the shop which means I have to find a way to get the lock lug off without damaging it or the wheels. Thanks for your time and patience with the soap-box!

 

Please Help!!!

 

there are a bunch of different lug keys, i know my set had a number on the key to show exactly which key it was...so i'm not sure what you can do.

You have to be shitting me!!!

 

Anyone else?

 

maybe call up king and ask them. but i'm pretty sure Curt941 is right. there's so many different keys, you'll probably not get the same one you had before.

Sir, i **** you not...i correct. Sucks, i know, that's why i keep my lock safe and secure.

 

Damn this really sucks! I e-mailed jhpusa.com about it b/c as you guys may know, they carry Mugen lugs and asked them the same thing and here is what I got in reply...

"They make a few different keys. The best way is to try and hammer the
appropriate sized socket on there and see if you can break it loose.
Some tire shops also carry a tapered socket for this purpose as well."

So I am guessing when my car gets out of the body shop, I am going to have to try to hammer a 19mm (I believe thats the correct size) socket on there or call my guy at the tire shop and see if they have tapered sockets and can remove it for me. Well, I thank you guys for the input, looks like the guy from which I bought the car has left me between a "rock and a hard place" so to speak. But once again, thanks!
