Is that the wheel lock code stamped on the side of the locking lug nut down by the cone area? Where can you get a replacement one? Thanks.

 

Good Luck, I tried for 4 months and was never able to get a replacement. Mackin will not sell them to individuals. Now I have a set of lugs that are non-locking

 

I think that is the code. Ask Asahi/Trey on this board. I think he lost one of his keys not too long ago. Good luck.

 

Code is on the side of the lugnut at the bottom. It wil be a 17 or 27 or 37 or . . . This appiles for ALL sets or authentic rays.

Makin CAN get them but will not sell to the public so you need o call someone Like Dave at R&D and get him to order it.

If you figure out what # it is you can borrow on from someone. Mine was a 27 but I never got a new key i bought 4 new non locking nuts off someone.

Trey

 

use a screwdriver and a hammer. That is the only way I can think of getting it off.

 

I used to work for Acura, and they used to just hammer a socket that was slightly larger over the lug, and then spin it off that way...

 

deep socket and hammer

 

How about that "Gator socket wrench"? It's supposed to fit on ANYTHING!

 

None of those suggestions will work.

Screwdriver and a hammer will just destroy the material (Tried it)

Deep socket won't work either. Remember these locking lugs are 7 sided (NO parallel side) so a deep socket that is too small won't go on and one slightly big just rounds lug off.

We tried all sorts of stuff and all we did was destroy the lugnut material.

I definitely suggest finding out which key you need and then borrowing one.

Trey

 

No one tried a set of large Vise-Grips? Heck, those could get off a totally round locknut.

 

Tried them.

Good luck having enough room to turn the grips once they are on.

Also we got them on good and the material is so soft that these just rounded the lugnut

Did Not try gator grip but it did come up as a suggestion.

 

i really dont want to sound mean or anything but how the hell do u loose ur key? u put it in ur glove comp. and when u use it u PUT IT BACK. so this wont happen
but if u got a LOT of time in ur hands id suggest investing in a dremmel and 30-40 cutting wheels good luck

 

Looks to me like you DID want to sound mean.

I sure hope someone asks you why you are so dumb the next time you have an accident of any kind.

**** happens. This is pretty minor on the scale but something that a little info goes a long way.

Thanks for the invaluable contribution.

 

Well it is in my glove box....BUT WHEN YOUR CAR GETS STOLEN...having it in there does not really help now does it....I never said I lost it either.

Well I got TE-37s and when I had to replace a tire I tried to take off the lock nut with the stock lug nut and it worked. Actually shocked the **** out of me. But hold it at an angle thats how I did it.

 

O.K. people....I am not trying to get anything off....AS I DON'T HAVE THE CAR ANYMORE!!!! I work at a dealership...believe me, we know how to get locking lugnuts off...I am just looking for a key for the set of lugnuts I still have. Man people don't read

 

If you don't have the car anymore, why are you worried about taking the wheels off

 

Ha Ha very funny Doug....my rims will live on! LOL.....You are lucky it got stolen...was about to whooop yo fancy schmancy Mugen *** this summer.
