BIG PROBLEM!! Options

[maurer11sdk]

Hey guys i have a big problem. The problem is that when i bought my car it came with 18 inch rims on it very nice look and all but when i got the car the guy told me that he lost the key for the lug nuts. Its a special key and i dont know nor does the previous owner know who even makes them. How do i go about getting these damn rims off? I need new tires and want to get new pads as well as e-brake bads as well and i cant even do that because the i cant get a tool to get the lug nut off?

Help is very much appreciated!! its almost like an inward 8star almost as if you would need an allen key but its an 6 star instead of the normal 6.

thats a good idea its just finding the right person on here that would know the rims? that would be the only problem i guess if i took that route

do you know a round about how expensive? and like would someone be capable of doing that? bcz in a way im thinkin if i can just drill into the studs and put somthing in there and snapping those lug nuts off

okay awesome man id appreciate it, bcz i mean i could pay an arm and a leg well maybe not if pep boys charges 45 bucks thats not bad at all but than theres labor and all those other expenses

my lug key broke and I had to get a replacement (from Gorilla Automotive). I think I just had to pay the shipping fee which was like $25-30 because I wanted the fastest shipping humanly possible. but for that I needed to know the key # [luckily Manny and Jeff (Presure2 and Defgeph) had the same keys and were able to tell me the # I needed]

I'm pretty sure its $42.99 which is the labor to take off the lug nut if you don't have the key. if they do damage the stud and you need a new one (for 4 I guess) they're like $2 each. but for the sake of possibly saving you $45 I'll ask when I go to work tomorrow
