lug lock problems PLEASE HELP!!
ok... i recently bought a 99 civic coupe and i am having problems with the wheel locks.. I brought it to advantage tire today .. and wanted them to slap on my new wheels well I explained to them i didnt have the key to the locks they said they would order them.. well they ordered them and one was 2 big and the other was 2 small .. so they sent me to rent n roll i bought a key that i thought would work.. but it kept slipping so as i was searching thru the car i found out the key was hidden under the spare tire.. so i tried using it.. it worked for about 5 lugs then started slipping i guess it stripped out.. what im really lookin for is a place that can remove my lugs on here ... i need a place asap !! thanks in advance!

Who at Advantage was trying to get the lugs off? Sean the assistant manager there got a set of 8" wide oval track slicks mounted on my 6" wide wheels.

can't you weld a bolt on it or somethin, and then just use a regular socket on the bolt, make sure you get new lugs and locks before you do this, so if you have a welder or know someone who does, maybe want to try this
someone correct me if i'm wrong

yeah, thats worst comes to worst, but it depends on what type of locks, if they are they kind where they look like a regular socket, you can just stick one of about that size on there, if not, i think your best bet would be to weld them, just tack it on, and you just have to break it ya know, and all it does is ruin the lug, but you gotta replace them either way, so it really don't matter
good luck either way
good luck either way
