So i recently got a flat tire, and found that the girl before me had put locking lugnuts on the rims... i can't get them off, but i might be able to get a spare key if i can figure out what brand/kind they are.

Also, since they are mag rims i cant jam a socket over it and try to pull it off that way...thanks-Shaun

I had the same problem w/ same lugnuts. Can't remember what size I used but just find a 12 or 16 point socket that is too small and hammer it onto the locking lug. Don't hammer it on too far or you'll have to ruin a socket for every lug you need to remove. Hammer it on like a 1/4 inch, loosen nut, hammer nut out of socket, move to the next one. Then throw away socket after as you just ruined it.
EDIT: bleh, just saw your comment at the bottom of your first post... but after looking at the pics it still looks like you have enough room to hammer a socket over them...

i had thsi problem a while ago, i welded a cheap socket into it..haha i tried using the gator grip but these babies were rusted in solid.
shit nvm i looked at the pics..you wont be able to weld or anything...try using a socket that somewhat goes in and hammer it in there.
