Default Help! I need a key! 56k will be waiting

If somebody has a key to spline drive 6 slot lugs, I desperatly need to borrow it. Or if you know where I can get one without getting a whole new set let me know. I have to get work done on my car and cant get my wheels off because the tire shop stole the damn key.

thanks

Have you tried an aftermarket rim shop? They usually have many keys for sale.

man, I've tried nearly everything. The aftermarket rim shops here cater to to those seeking "dubs" and Benz's and Caddys. Rolling up in a civic gets you laughed at and embarrassed. They were compete ******** and wouldnt help at all.


I'm out of options

Heres the deal. The last time I had tire work done it turns out the shop stole my key to my lugs. I guess my fault for not remembeing it. Anyway both of my axles nees to be placed ASAP due to torn rubber cv joints. Car is nearly undriveable. I have a rental car. Anyway no work can be done on the car because I cant even get the god damn lugs off. This is really pissing me off.

Those look like gorilla lugs, I think I might have a key still from my old set that I got rid of.

go to napa and get a lug nut remover kit, hammer it on, remove lug. Most likely the tire shop guys didnt steal, but forgot to put in back in your trunk/glove box or whatever.
