When I got my donor car for my ls1 swap it came with a set of mickey thompson rims and I didn't realize that there was locking lug nuts on the car and the guy didnt give me the socket so what would be the best way to get the locking lug nuts off without hurting the rims any ides are welcome thanks

 

well, you could try a removal tool.

you could find a sacrafical socket and hammer it on.

and in a pinch, i've welded a regular lug nut over the locking one. cover the rim with aluminum foil real good to avoid any splatter.

 

for a laugh,...
