I cant tell from the pics but you may try a local dealership and see if they have a set of keys that may work. I work for Toyota and we have two sets of different style keys we use. That looks like one of the styles so you may luck up and they might have some there.

Re: Lost the key to My LUGs!!!! (cxSHOE)

Alot of times you can call the company that makes the keys. Might you still have the slip for the keys? If so give them a call they can send you a replacement for like 5 bucks.

Takes a socket that almost fits around the lug, an extension and a hammer and i could have them off in like 5 mins. I used to work at a tire shop and we always had to break off locklugs. Not as hard as it may seem. Those lugs suck *** thought, always strip out, used to **** me off at work....

lol.. just goto home depot, get some jbweld, and put it on there, it will make a tight enough hold to crank it over, then just break it of with a chisel.

I used to work at a tire place. you are going to want to go there and tell them your story, they keep spares and removal tools.

You can imprint the lug on styrofoam and send it to a machine shop if you don't have one nearby.

I'm not posting it in an open forum, but if you really need to get them off and don't want to drive it anywhere, PM me. I'll tell you how to get them off. Have to replace the lugs, but you can get them off.

is there a company who can custom make wheel locks instead of having them massed produce? i think it would be safer that way because youll be the only one with those locks.
