I have never seen a OEM lug key. Didn't know they made them. There are some ways for him to get them off, but will result most likely in destroying them.

If it is the OEM style accessory wheel lock set, just go to the dealer and they have (or atleast our dealership) has a universal kit which has 10 or 12 different keys, and we even have a set for the Ridgeline/Ody/Pilot locks as well(14mm). I'd try that and replace them with new locks or lug nuts until you find the key. Less hassle in the long run.....

lol,

only other suggestion i can give is heat it up with a torch, then spray some water on it, and try using a vise grip to turn it off.

hopefully the expanding from the heat, and the cooling from the water will make it easier to take them off with a vise grip.

yup, all dealers should have a 'master key' set for OEM/McGard wheel locks. Color coded as well so they know which to order for you in the end if you need another key.

Dealer is your only option without ruining the thread.

yeah ok thanks guys. i dont think my friend wants to mess up his lug nut so he is just gonna go to the dealer and get a replacement of some sort or a whole new set. we were trying to find a different route other than the dealer but oh well.
thanks guys for your input!
