I've seen some like those at autozone, if not go check your wheel and tire shops, they should have them.

Yeh...i dont need them anymore, i have some T1Rs here....ill check around.

So yall think it looks like a standard wheel lock?

I didnt think they would sell that at autozone, being as thieves might be able to buy them easier....but ill check

I agree. Most wheel and tire shops carry a variety of wheel lock keys or if not they would be able to remove them.. I'm sure they will sell you another key though.

Wow Ive never seen those style of lug nut locks, at first I thought they were Mutekis. The lug nut in the second pic is a pretty common one and youll find them at any auto parts store.


They also sell sockets that remove all lug nuts. They probably ruin them, but you said you got some better ones anyways.

Well I looked closer and it looks like a Motegi symbol on them, so I looked that up and they make ones like that.

Spline tuner lugnut, so I searched eBay and bought a lock socket, should be good to go now. Thanks again guys

Im pretty sure the lug nuts on the first picture can be taken off with a 12pt. 15mm socket....I had the same ones on my car.

Still might not have worked...cuz these rims fit kinda flush with these lugs....so it needs the thin walled one

i have thoes lugs, they are gorilla, but i think they also sell under differnt names, i paid 50 for them a the tire store, when i got my lugs, buddy paid like 20 and shucks.

honestly eithe borrow the guys above me, or just buy a new set and have new fresh lugs on the on the car. they really arent expensive at all.
