Lost Key for Rims, what to do?

[PRO®]

SOMEHOW I lost the key for my rims, and need to take them off. How exactly do I go about taking them off? Anyway of finding out how to get the right key(maybe its universal and I can get it from Summit/autozone etc)? Will a picture of the lug help?

where did the lugs come from?

[Tyl0rWeaver]

if it's an autozone security lug nut, just go to autozone.. if it's an OEM security lugnut, go to Honda.

lame.

don't know, got the rims off a trade for my stock rims.

Go to AutoZone or Advanced, and I know the security lug code: 552

Check it.

[oneSLOWex]

those almost look like gorilla lugs

[4DrTeg]

they kinda look like advance auto lugs too

Spline Drive is the name for that type. I got my key as discount tire couple years ago. You can probably grab them at autozone as they sell the same style.

[Tyl0rWeaver]

Actually, Muteki... My bad.. I retract my previous statement.

Muteki/SplineDrive..

Might not be at Advanced/AutoZone then.. Look around, call around..

You do huh??? so are you the one I need to blame for taking my wheels an I had some 552 lugs on it too!

I've pulled those off with a socket before. 17 or 16mm gently hammered on then used a torch to expand the socket enough to knock it out with extension through the other side...or just go get a spline drive key.

if you can't find the correct key, I bought a "emergency lug removal kit" cause a buddy of mine was in the same situation as you. Its a reverse thread socket that goes over the lug, and as you tighten the socket, it loosens the lug. Down draw is that the lug cannot be used again.

:gay:

Ever visit an AutoZone or Advanced? They have about 20 different security lug sets, using the EXACT same key. Anyone with $10-20 can go in and buy a security lug key..

Annnd, if I was one to "STEAL" wheels, I definitely wouldn't be driving around in my paid off S2000.. I'd either be rocking an integra or civic of some sort, with about 20 different different colored body panels... or a box chevy riding on 24's.

You're thinking about the punk-asses that go out and live off that sort of shit... :doh: :police:

I have used a 12 point socket before and it worked. Just dont expect to use the socket or lug again.

Or you can always use the F&F Method...

Just have her jump onto your wheel, spray a little of nitrogen onto the lug, and give it a good crack with that hammer.. ;)

[Humphrizzle]

that's a universal spline key.. go to kauffman tire and get a key for it.

or use a 17mm socket.
