Hey guys i have a big problem. The problem is that when i bought my car it came with 18 inch rims on it very nice look and all but when i got the car the guy told me that he lost the key for the lug nuts. Its a special key and i dont know nor does the previous owner know who even makes them. How do i go about getting these damn rims off? I need new tires and want to get new pads as well as e-brake bads as well and i cant even do that because the i cant get a tool to get the lug nut off?
Help is very much appreciated!! its almost like an inward 8star almost as if you would need an allen key but its an 6 star instead of the normal 6. |

I know Pep Boys charges something like $45 to do that. IMO at worst you may need a new stud which isn't too expensive.
I'll ask one of the mechanics what they use to do it. but you'll have to wait until tomorrow, today is my day off
