You can do it yourself.

Get a socket that is bigger than the lock nut. Force it on with a hammer, and then turn. Your socket may/may not be ruined, but its cheaper than a shop. Most tire shops can do it.

get a grinder and grind 2 opposing sides of the locknut (refer to image). this way you can get a big cresent wrench or find an actual wrench that will fit on it, and you can generally do it that way.

get a 12 point socket, hit it on, take off the lug, put the socket in a vise and nock out the wheel lock, repeat for the rest.

it is important to use a 12 point as there it is less likely to crack, meaning you don't break your socket.

Kal tire took my locks off for free:poosie:

If you wanna save money, and some elbow grease, do the socket thing, but use an impact gun... Good luck! don't get caught!

yeah this shoulda been answered in pm...theres alot of amateur thieves around here that could probably benefit from the info

:rofl: That would be pretty sneaky. Trying to quietly hammer a socket onto a locking wheel nut to swipe some rims.

Most tire shops will have a set of 'master' keys that they can try out. If none fit, I've used a socket that has thread down the inside of it. Put that on an impact gun, and it'll thread itself down the lug then once it bottoms out, it'll turn the lug. The old lug is a bitch to get out afterwards though. These sockets also work great on stripped lugs.

:rofl: If you don't notice a thief taking your wheel locks off using this method, you deserve to have your wheels stolen. This method is time consuming, loud, and takes quite some effort. It's not something a thief would want to try, as most vehicle owners would have already curb stomped a would-be thief before he even got a single wheel off using this ghetto style.

*shrug* with only 1 lock per wheel (typically the case, not every nut is keyed) i dont see it taking THAT long...but i havent tried :)

method
it takes that long. trust me.
