i think you guys might be confused, it's not a typical wheel lock, here is a pic, it's the ones on the right.



the keys come in different sizes, patterns, etc, and i've been to the three major tire/rim shops in my town, and they don't carry those keys. this sucks b/c someone wants to buy the rims too :P

This happened to me when we were installing my suspension. The key stripped out and we took it to a tire shop and they pretty much butchered the locking lugnut until it could come off. And I had no rim damage. Go to a shop and say remove this ****** anyway you can.

no, it's not a wheel lock for the third time, it's the spline drive lug nuts (the picture on the far right), there is one on every lug, which means a total of 16, and they are flush with my rims almost (not enough surface to get a hold of them), and there is not enough room around the outside of them for anything except that thin *** key that comes with them (also pictured), and i've taken it to three tire shops and told them to get them off any way they could, they just can't :P

oh yeah, also, i couldn't get to the "sqeakers" on the brake pads, so they're still squealing, i may just have to cut the rims off with a ------- sawzall

Thats the way i had to get mine off , after i took it everywhere i knew and no-one could help.
i may just have to try this, sounds pretty time consuming, but the best idea i've heard yet :P

Weird *** lugs. Didnt realize they were almost flush. But none the less when they broke my locking nuts off they drilled down the center then once he was deep enough the shaking had freed it enough to turn it with the bit in the nut. Good luck!
