Okay so i was tightening up my lock but the lock broke insnide the lug and now i can't take them off, i don't know why it happened alll of a sudden because i've been taking and putting on my wheels all this time i guess it couldn't hold up.. anyone know who makes the key for this lock? i think it's HONDA but im not sure and idk if the keys they make are different or the same ETC.

here are some pics to do the explaining...

Get a smaller socket... Bang it on then crack it... You might need 4 different sockets tho....

best thing to do. its a common style lock so u should be able to get a replacement for cheap. if u can drive the car there so u can take them off.

There is no way you're gonna match up that key. Does neither the lug nor the key say who made it?
