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) |

The "gone in 60 seconds" method is to pound a socket with an ID slightly smaller than the lug nut onto it, then just wrench it off. Of course, the socket will be sacrificed, but probably the easiest way if the vice-grips approach isn't working.
