Do you think theres a locksmith that can get them off?

the locksmiths i know dont do that, its a bolt more than a lock. what kind of wheel lock is it, the tuner ones or the plain wheel locks that come in the sets with lugs.

Take a pic of the lug. I have a couple of keys laying around. If one fits I'll give it to you.

what makes you think a dealership would be any different. i must have missed the memo where they started carying autopart store lock keys. although ive worked at many dealerships, its no different than a fucking tire store unless its a factory wheel lock which it is not.

Yes, they work. Just get a gator grip, it'll take it right off and is a pretty useful tool.

Fuck all that, go to sears and get a lug nut removal tool kit, its three double sided sockets that are counter spiral threaded, get an impact gun and they take them off like it was a socket. works everytime.

Or give me 10$ and ill do it for you. it will take me 5 min.

but if you want to get the tool heres what it looks like
