Default New Lug Key Process

I have aftermarket lugs with a tamper proof lug on each wheel. I've lost the key. What do I do now?

If the lugs are completly recessed you can hammer on a old socket to remove. If not fully recessed then a pair of vice grips and a pipe is all you need. or you can pickup one of the emergency lug lock removal tools for $20.

If someone decides they want your wheels the "locking lugs" only add seconds to the time it takes them. In my experience all they do is make it a pain when you need to do something cause the tool is always missing or buried.

The tool works great.

An awesome alternative would be new axles....
