OEM WHEEL LOCKS!
ok so i went to the junkyard and saw a few fat fives on some gsr's but all had oem wheel locks. There a bargain if you can get them off all 4 with tires. ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO GETTING THEM OFF WITHOUT THE KEY??
Go to acura and get the key. If acura OEM wheel locks are like GM wheel locks, they should all use the same key.
Other than that, theres something you can jam into them... im blanking on it right now, but i watched my roommate do it to get the wheel locks off of his tahoe after a shop lost his key.
If you dont actually want the wheel locks you could probably just use a huge set of vice grips. Or, and im just thinking here, a big C clamp would probably be able to hold it enough to get it loose, if the arm was strong/long enough for you to twist it on tight enough to kick at it. If you have a portable grinder you could probably grind two sides of the locks flat, which would make it a lot easier.

one the guy said vice grips and that works like a charm...I wish there where better wheel locks for rims cause I got a set of rims off my friends car when he lost his wheel lock in matter off 15 seconds each lock...just put the vice grips on the lock nut so its really hard to squeeze it lock and then turn it with some MAN muscle and thats it.....but I aint saying this for you to go out and give you ideas to steal rims cause that probably get you shot :-)
I hammered a slightly smaller than will fit socket over the wheel lock then used a breaker bar to get them out, it obviously messes up the socket but if you can get the lock nut out of it you might be able to use it on more than one lock. Thankfully I've only had to do this once when my friend lost her lug nut key. I've also seen it done with an air chisel at a shop (try to get inside the lock groove and hit it in the direction to loosen it) although I don't suppose that helps much at a junkyard...
