Re: lock lug nuts

You could try some of the tire stores. I had the same problem but was able to find the key hidden in the car. But I check some of the tire stores and they said if I bring the car to them they might be able to get it off for me. Just an idea.

Another trick is to find a socket that's just barely too small to slip over it, and hammer it on.

Re: lock lug nuts

If you don't want to weld the nuts on just get a set of vice grips and put them on REALLY tight. This is what I did to mine and it worked fine.
