BIG PROBLEM!! Options

[maurer11sdk]

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.

Try this thing http://gator-grip.com/ They used to have infomertials on tv for it and the first thing I thought of when I saw it is it would be great for stealing rims (If you into that kinda thing). It will supposidly conform to any kind of shape by compressing small pins inside of the socket. Two questions though.

1. Will it fit around you lugnut?

2. Do you have deep socket rims (Socket might not fit inside the rim itself)

Also, I think I know what kind of key you are talking about but can be positive with out seeing it. Auto zone sells a cheep rim socket lock set that only has one key for all the lock nuts thay produced (Pretty pointless) But if your lucky and that is the set then you can buy the set for like 15 bucks and use the key.

Yep, I just looked further into the web site and it said that it will remove most lugnut locks just as long as the outside diamator isnt round. I would buy this thing and give it a try.
