you can try banging a socket onto your locknut and use a rattle gun to undo the nut. you would want to do it at a tyre shop/workshop where the car is on a hoist so it's easier to work on.

that's provided the locknut is not too recessed so the socket can't be bashed into the locknut.

there is a special tool that cops have as well that can just bite into any locknut and remove it...

i think its like $100 tho...

just leave yourcar parked outside your house.
One night sooner or later some low lifes will steal your rims somehow.
They will also leave the car conveniently raised on jacks or bricks , allowing easy install of stocky rims.

Nice guys. How thoughtful. Do you leave milk and cookies out for them, like santa?

Possibly take a pic just of the lock nut itself, and maybe someone can tell you what it is to either buy a new key/track down someone to borrow it off.

Hey man, try tightening all the other nuts right up with a rattle gun (don't go overboard, coz you'll do damage) then the locknut should be loose enough to get off with a pair of pliers!

suggest going to supercheap, autobarn or the like. get one of the workers there to have a look at it and they might be able to recommend the best tool to use. Or even to a mechanic, they might have the right tool, maybe u just have to pay a small fee.

go to a tyre shop
and buy the same lock nut set.. u will then have the key

[destrukshn]
