Angry No keys for lug nuts....

I cant get a hold of the guy I bought my 95 from to get the keys for the lug nuts so I can put the factory wheels back on for winter. The nuts are recessed so I dont think I can get a socket around it. Do most tire shop's have a bunch of keys laying around.

I'd love to know what you find out... I moved four years ago and lost my key. The tires are really getting bad

If you can get a socket on the other 4 to tighten or loosen them, it would seem possible to hammer the same (or smaller) socket onto the keyed nut to loosen it.

I did that on mine,just jam fit a smaller socket on there and you should be good, I would get 3-4 of the same size sockets ,sometimes they get damaged doing that.(or you cant get it back off the lugnut)

If you have the original owners manual it had the lugnut lock code card inside it.
