Ok, yes I will admit it, I am a dumbass. Unfortunately for us 5 Lug people we HAVE to use the keyed lug nuts rays sells.

I went to a track event this weekend and changed my wheels/tires. I somehow after that misplaced the lug nut key.

Here is the kicker. I called Mackin and the ID to get a new key is . . . . ON THE F'n KEY!

Ok. so there are 5 possible Keys according to Mackin. I need anyone willing to lend me their Key for a couple of days to tell me what the ID# on your key is and if you would be willing to ship it to me. We have all but destroyed one lugnut trying to get them off and I must say the shop I was at gives rays kudos for theft prevention.

Also, WRITE DOWN YOUR KEY ID#!!!

Trey

 

there should be a number on the lock lug too.

 

Crazy ****. I busted my Acura locknut and key, I'm just going to have a wheel shop bust it off.

Sorry bro ;(

 

take it to acura and ask em to remove it.
they should do it for free.

 

use a GATOR GRIP!!! lol you got owned Trey

 

.....if you're coming down this weekend with sakai and company, you can try my rays key out. AFAIK, they all have the same key... worked for william (typer76)...

 

All right Trey, you Im'ed me for an answer so here it is. Get an impact socket, a little smaller the the lug(we have 3/4"), then put locktight in the socket. smack the socket on with a hammer. put the gun up to the socket and insert. use half throttle on the gun till it comes off. stop the lug right before it pops off and remove the gun, now smack the socket with a hammer lightly on each side till it comes off. Bamn!!! Lock Socket comes off!!!


Don't ask how I know this, I don't condone using these tools in other than there recommended propose.

 

mang that is sucks

yshi - who wishes he had a rays key to lend trey

 

trey is one lucky bastard i got the right key to send to him and it has to be my last set of rays lugs in stock too!!!

le - who also lost his lock keys and had to weld on a socket to open them up; deng it i should've taken pics of those, that would have been kinda funny

 

last time i lost my key.. i air chisled into it, and screwed it off with the air chisle.

 

This is true. This is how we determined Leo has a matching key. to Leo!

 

Thanks for the heads up on the lock key. Sorry you lost your key...I have misplaced mine at the track a few times.

Trying to replace your track wheels with your streets only to discover the lock key is missing is not a fun feeling... for friends.

 

I'm pretty surprised you guys use wheellocks on the track. but then, I don't use them on the street either. When I did use them on the street I always used different lugnuts on the track..

 

I agree, that's why I now use a set of NON-locking lugs on my car. I had a set of the Rays and also lost my key. But luckily someone nearby had the matching key so I was able to get my wheels off. But really, its more of a pain to deal with the locks. I have a feeling if somone really wants my wheels, they will just take the entire car.

 

OK, Mr. 16 lugs. If I didn't have to use them I wouldn't have. I was told buy the doofus at Mackin that these were race only lug nuts and that he wasn't sure how to help me since this awas a race car. He shut up real quick when I asked what dumb *** race team woudl lock lugnuts on. Crazy riceboys jumping the pit wall!

 

Mr 20 lugs, why did you have to use them? Gorilla lug nuts own j00

 

I guess I could just use the non locking lug nuts while at the track...I only need 16 so I could use my spare lug nuts....save some time during tire changes

 

.....I have #27, btw.
