Removing wheel locks without the wheel key
I have aftermarket rims. Mutegi Racing wheels, MR7s 15X16 1/2
I lost the wheel keys. I tried getting a socket and jamming onto the wheel locks with a hammer to and use a breaker bar to break wheel locks off.
Problem is no socket will fit onto the wheel locks. There either to small or to big due to the wheel locks rounded shape. The wheel locks size are between 11 mm and 12mm.
I also cant drive my car since my engine doesn't start. Any advice?

There is a socket called Gator-Grip. Its meant for rounded of sockets. How it works, ther are small metal studs inside the socket that adjust for size and then allow you to spin the socket while taking off the nut.

thats a standard spline lug....any shop should be able to sell you the key to them if u let them know how many grooves are ont here n all
just go to your local auto parts store and buy the 4 pack of lock nuts the same kind as urs and use the key out of that pack that way you have 4 extra nuts
I know you are a slo-*****, but that was a joke.
