<![CDATA[I need to get the wheels off the Mustang, can anyone help]]>Ok, Now the Mustang wheels are toast, I need to get them off. I called around and no one has a key that will fit those lug nuts, and said they could maybe order one for $40-$50 which is justs nuts. Anyone have an idea how to get them off or have a key that I can borrow.

The lug nuts looke like they need a torx style key.

Dude, I'm telling you to use a 1/2 drive ratchet and extension. It's tried and true. It WILL take them off. The end of the extension makes perfect contact with 4 out of the 10 points of the nuts and will be more than enough to loosen them. Trust me.

i'd trust him, he does work for a tire place

I'm guessin' you could get a big torqs bit at sears or somplace that sells tools and that should work

I would think that either tintmasters gave him the key and he lost it, or they should still have it. Just my .02

I had to to that one when i got a car from a auction. The hammer/chisel will rotate the lug nuts right off.

Or, I have one of those torx style keys that came with my black Supra. You are free to give it a try and see if it would fit by chance.

I asked them, they remembered your car and referred to it as a "pain in the ass" They do not have a key and told me they can order one for $40.

Because he didn't have the key for the wheels. I dunno know why, but he told me he never had one.

If its an 8 point drive, it will work believe me. I have seen countless lugnuts like the ones you re referring to and everyone seems to loose their keys.
