My 00 GT had locks. The regular lugs were 21mm...so I pounded a 22mm socket over the locking lugs...used an impact it got them all off.

10mm? that is only around 3/8" pretty little lug nuts.

Its a keyed lug nut not a regular lug nut. The 10mm socket fit snugly over the inside raised section so I could turn it to loosen it.
