So I've got some wheels that are locked on with lug locks. The key is missing. Suggestions?
I got one lug off with vice grips. Here is what they look like. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Get an impact socket that is too small to go over the lock. Hammer that sucker on there. You should then be able to take it off. Use a rod that fits through the drive hole in the socket to drive out the now unusable lock. Toss the lock. Replace with a normal lug bolt. You're not gonna park your 914 where the wheels would be stolen, right?
