Why didn't Shane give you the keys to the lugs?

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

I never got a key with the rims, tintmasters put the wheels on y car when i ordered new tires from them not that long ago ask them how they did it, im not exactly sure....

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.

If you just want to get them off and aren't worried about wrecking the lug nuts, just use a chisel and a hammer to drive the lug nuts off. 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.

if your not affraid of wrecking the lugs or the studs you could cut them off with a torch

Go to Luther Family Ford, I used to work there and they have about 15 different sockets for Ford l lug nuts.

Hmm, my buddy ordered locking lugs on his car, never got the key, and then when we went back, they gave him the key for free. I would think that either tintmasters gave him the key and he lost it, or they should still have it. Just my .02

There not Ford lug nuts, the car has 18" tuner wheels with aftermarket lug nuts.

Similar to this:

I didnt buy the rims from tintmasters I bought them from a private seller....he never told me anything abouth the lug nuts needing a key I bought them a long time ago and didnt know any better....

socket ideas the best id have too

[ichibankilla]

Um... If you need a key to get them off and you never had a key, how where they put on?
I'm guessin' you could get a big torqs bit at sears or somplace that sells tools and that should work

[CivicEX7777777]

I dont know how they were put on, all I know is tintmasters put them on I dont know what they used though....

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.
