i gots a question for y a guys. a friend of mine asked me to do her brakes on her car. she has after market rims, and a wheel lock set. the key to the wheel lock set is broken. (dont ask) so my questions, do you guys have any ideas on how to get the wheels off the car?

try to find a new lock if not i dont know there are many different ways. on a friends car they had to torch em off, on my car they made a custom key lol a socket that was too small for the lugs and hammered it onto the lugs so that they could twist it off. but i dunno take it to a rim and tire shop and see wat they suggest

If you can't get the right key weld a nut on the end and then use the proper socket to back it off.

or if its an open end style lug, you can drill out the stud. welding a nut to the end will risk the chance of damaging the rim and drillin out the stud you will have to replace the stud. either choice will work just depends on what you want to do
