so my project car is nearing completion, and one of the last things i need are new tires.

I haven't dismounted the rear wheels in 5 years, and I don't have the key, and have NO clue where I got these locks as I have been through about 1/2 dozen sets with my cars. they look familiar to any of you? The look kinda like the mcgard honda ones, but I been to the honda stealership and none of the master keys remotely fit (the head is too wide on these).

 

looks like Mcgaurd but tapered seats so oviously non-honda...you can try to fnd a masterkey or you can get someone to weld a bar onto it and turn it off...probaly faster that way.

 

If you don't care if they get destroyed, you can go to a tire shop. Many shops carry these conical sockets they hammer onto the locking lugnut that will get those off.

 

yeah i entertained having a bolt welded on to it but I don't really wanna pay for it as my welding skillz suck

 

yeah, i heard of those too. 2x places I went to didn't have it, though

 

you can grind 2 sides flat and use a giant wrench,......thats only worked one time i tried it though . Those ones are tricky
