my stupid self lost the key to get my rims off, both my rear tires are trashed and i need to replace them before my "gated community" towes my baby away. is there any way i can get these lug nuts off? THNX

 

Big hammer and a few sockets or go to a shop.

If you use the search function on this site it works wonders.

 

sorry about that, still learning. thnx

 

snap on and the like make a tool to remove them, you hammer it on and impact it off. ask at a local gararge. If not the tool you can do it with an air chisel or maybe a hammer and cold chisel if your really enthusiastic

 

I hope you don't plan on keeping the nuts. I would probably use an air chisel.

 

He doesn't have the key, ergo he won't want to keep the nutz :P

 

u can go to pepboys and we carry lug nut lock removeal tools. there 16 bucks i think and its 2 differnt size sockets with threads on the insides and u hammer it on and use an impact gun or braker bar to take them off. i u dont have the impact gun u use the braker bar to brake them free and then a rachet.

ive used mine on plenty of occastions at work (pepboys) and there a pretty damn good tool to have.

 

Another reason not to use wheel locks.

 

thanks much, unfortunately the car came with the nuts. grrr
the pepboys out here doesnt cary the tool but i will make a trip to lancaster tomorrow to see if the other one does.

 

Z28DJP1987, I don't really understand by what you are saying. I think wheel locks are a great theft deturrance (SP?) But just like any other security system out there it's not perfect. I Personally have nice rims- Not Stock, and I really like them!!

 

As I said they were a pain in the butt for me and did not work as a theft deterent on my car. Use them if you like, but do not rely on them to protect your high priced Wheels. I like my Alarm system to keep the young thieves away, a Pro will always get them.
