I believe collectively we've invested well over $100 in terms of time and advice into this problem, which is the cost a tire shop quoted to remove the locknuts in the first place 😉

Yeah and i can think of 10 solutions... drill a big 12mm hole in the middle of it!  (Oh.. other advice start offcourse with a 4-5 mm one!) and buy a set of new bolts.. Next !!!   5 days and counting!  

lol

really looks like there is a cap on it ( shiny part ), because the lower part has a different color. Just grab a vice try pulling it of. If you don't have a welder stop messing around and go to a proper tire shop like suggested here above

 

Haaaa. I wish it was that easy. Mine are more like a key fit.  I found a guy in dpan that actually has the exact gorilla key I need abs he has a spare. Hoping he will sell and ship to me🙏🙏🙏

How do you know?  The splines are of varying width.  It's not just the number nine.

I'm the 55th poster on getting a keyed lug nut off. 

That has to be some kind of all-time record.

Yeah.  How many Z car forum members DOES it take to remove a locking lugnut? 

At this point, I'm done dispensing advice and only here for this thread's entertainment value

he showed me a photo... its the gorilla key for the exact lock..... im thinking it will work

You must have good eyes.  Can you share the photo?  Hope it works...

I think this is it!!!

What you say? a digital code of 1024 numbers?  Oh it was something like: 101101100011110101011101101010011111010110110101010010101011000010111011010101011111100000  is that oké ? 

Yeah.. you say..

That lock is like a digital code. there are thausands of combinations for your lug!  You got a gun? shoot it off!!  😉 

 

You know what happens if there is changed only one "zero or one" in the program on your phones little computer?  it will go wrong, if not instantly, some day later..
