Hey Guys,
I have quite the problem but maybe you guys will make it easy for me.
I lost my wheel lock (I have bullit rims) when I changed my flat tired a few days ago so now i can't change it back. I have that stupid donat on. Either way I'd need it to change my tires eventually. Anyone know where I can get one? Or if anyone lives in the Coral Springs, Fl area that would like to lend it to me real quick while I change my tire (I will go to your house or work or wherever I just want to change my tire) I would really really appreciate it.
Thanks everyone

There's a tool that looks like a socket with blades in it.You hammer it on the lug nut and twist it off.I had to have that done on my wheels.Also,you can sometimes gently hammer a socket from the toolbox on the lugnut enough that you can remove it.

since the wheel locks arent the same, go to a garage and see if they will let you borrow their wheel lock removal set and change the tire in their parking lot and just tip the guy a few bucks...ive done that twice since i got a flat after a shop lost my key, and i needed to rotate my tires...

I wouldnt hammer a regular socket on it, you're likely to break the socket as its rounded. And if it were as easy as everyone having the same key as you that you could borrow, what would be the point in having locking lug nuts anyways? Just go buy an extraction socket, hammer it on and replace it with a new locking one.

+1 hammer socket method, used this. I used my craftsman socket in case it got fubar... didn't harm it one bit though.
