There is a socket that is made to take off striped nuts and lugs or whatever. They will tear up the lugs but it will get them off.

would you happen to know the speciffic name of the socket?

[spyro187]

I can't think of the name of it at the moment. The other way to get those off may ruin a socket but will work. Take a socket that is slightly to small for the lug and hammer it on then spin it off. Usually, if you choose the right size socket and its quality then it won't break it and you can use it on all the lugs.

I'm not sayin' its your fault for buyin them, but who makes lugs that you can't get off with a wrench and doesn't even supply a special socket?

it did have a special socket but piece of **** broke. i wanted to weld it but somehow it got lost. the thing is i have preety fat wheels and im trying to put the nismo wheel studs there... ill try to do it with a socket see if it works thanks guys!

I have the same lugs and just lost the key for 'em yesterday. This morning i went to my local mag and tire shop and showed em one of the lugs and they sold me a new key, no problems at all. P.S paid 5$ for the new key.

I have Muteki's too, they're fine the key fits into the socket... Those look like the same as Muteki's but mine are open ended...

Do what most say and go to a local shop. Takes 10 minutes out of your day and you have it THAT DAY, and can go about your business.

ok here is how it looks like i took it to a shop but their tool does not fit its too big... i would buy another set of lugnuts but i dont even know the make here are some pictures

Ahh don't you ****ing hate that? I made a 4 hour drive to a drift event, and my key snapped as I was swapping on my last drift spare. This meant that I couldn't drift, because that wheel would fall off, and I couldn't drive home, because the wheel would fall off.

I got lucky, and somebody else there had a similar key. Look around, go to different shops, or order another key from the factory.
