    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.

              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.

                      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

                      Cyril Figgis: Call girl!

                          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.
