i have a 91 240sx LE with SE rims. I got a flat and went to remove the tire when i found out that one of the lug nuts were stripped out. the wheels have aftermarket locks. i have no lock key but a 17mm deep socket works fine on all the other wheel locks. i need to know if there is anyway that i can possibly get that wheel lock off. any help would be appreciated.

If worse comes to worse, you can weld a socket that fits around it and then loosen it. It will work but it will kill the socket and the lug nut.
