buy the socket?
or hammer a 12pt socket on and pray...
You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...
i think there is a set like that at walmart.... bro had them on his celica back in the day
yeah, they look like McGard brand. however, there are 12 possible (i believe) keys, even though they look the same...
the key will have a number on it somewhere - that is the key you need to look for or order... or, the 12pt socket and hammer... but you ruin the lugs that way.

Take one lugnut to discount tire and see if they have one for it, dat is where I bought mine for 7 bucks

sweet, i dont have these exact lugs and key but they look like those. i bought a lug nut remover and crap still didnt work
just go to discount tire.
When you do get them off, next time around try to torque them to the proper specs and you won't have to worry about tearing up a lug nut key. Honda requires 80 ft lbs tq. for their lugs.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
that looks like a very common key. i have a couple of them. i purchased mine at godfather customs.

They sell those keys anywhere they sell "tuner" lugs. I had the same thing happen to me, only I didn't know any better then and went to Butler Tire, paid $17. I did get a legit solid steel key instead of the crappy aluminum ones most these cheap lugs come with.
This works every time...
^^ that won't fit if it's recessed.

Discount tire has them..
80 lbs of torque and rust will equal my problem now
i dont understand how the key got messed up. i know that i torque my lugs more then 80lbs and i have never had a problem. as far as the rust thing, you need to rotate your tires more often and you wont have rust. either way good luck. try hitting them with a hammer on the tip of the lug to break them free.
17 mm socket... Works just fine
the key actually crackedalmost half way down, the rust came from it sitting in NYC for a couple of years
5 bucks at discount tire man. they have those keys out their ears
