How to remove locking lugs without key??
Well I lost my locking lugnut key and now I have one lock on each tire. What is the best way to remove these without damaging the wheels? They are sunk pretty deep into the rim. Any suggestions?

I bought A 4.6 Mustang used once and realized later I didn't have the wheel lock key
They make a special socket for this. It uses a reverse spiral on the inside. You tap it onto the lock and slowly spin it off. You shoulkd be able to use a regular socket, too. You'll have to buy new wheel locks, though.
