I lost the key for my lug nuts the other day like an idiot! Does anyone know what kind of lugs nuts these are? i've been searching but kind find one with the same style.

Any ideas on how i can take these off without the key?

 

12 point socket MIGHT be able to grab that, but i doubt it, its keyed for a reason

 

looks like autozone ones? drive around to auto part store, they let me test out the possible ones when i lost my keys.

just last resort, if its not on there too tight, a good vise grip could take it off, or try one of those gator stripped bolt socket thing they sell at sears.

 

Yeah some of those style can take a 12 point, 17 mm socket. You need to line it up just right.

I know les schwab and other tire places also sell keys

If that doesn't work then you'll have to find a socket that barely won't go on and hammer it on.

 

eh i think that looks more like a 14-15mm 12 point, but ya if u got bunch of sockets, try them all, but try vise grip first, make sure that teeth on the vise grip is tight on the lugnut so you dont strip it, and find a big monkey bar to help lose it up, <3 vise grips

 

Those are nice nuts..

 

Looks like you have adequate space around the nut to use one of these:


And they look like McGard Splinedrive, Gorilla Spline, or other various "spline" nuts.

The universal socket only doesn't work on wheels with very limited space around the nuts. On wheels like those pictured, the spline nuts don't offer any protection.

 

thanks for all the replys. i tried the 12pt socket and it didn't work out. tried the vise grip that didn't work out either was way to tight! lol. but tried the gorilla nut and it got it off! just gotta work it though.
