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) |

Most auto parts stores sell an "emergency wheel lock remover" like this
http://www.amazon.com/Wilmar-M980-Emergenc...el+lock+remover It basically bites into the wheel lock and takes em right off. Note that even beginner car thieves will have tools to easily remove wheel locks. Save yourself future headache by tossing them in the trash and sticking to normal lug nuts. |
