gorilla lock lug nuts

when i bought my truck, it didnt come with the key for the lug nuts on my wheels. i need to rotate my tires but i cant get the gorilla lock lug nut off of each wheel but i was able to hammer a socket on two of the nuts and get them off but not the other two because they require a special socket like a key. none of the local tire shops have what i need. where can i get the special socket?

I got mine at Discount Tire. Looks like this:


Check eBay if the local places don't carry them.

You can get a new key straight from "GORILLA": http://www.gorilla-auto.com/replacement.keys

i doubt you have the box/registration card, but theres a number on it and you can call Gorilla and get a new one. check your glove box, might be in there

see i was thinking of getting a set of gorilla locks but if someone is smart enough they could just order a key and swipe your wheels...what I like about MC gard is that each set is a different pattern.....whether they repeat patterns or not it seems better than the Gorilla's....are there any other options people are using?

X2, My fiance just bought a '10 Scion TC, and the upgraded 18's/Pirelli's came with Gorilla Lugs, It came with a sticker that had a personal Number just for those lugs, you need that number to order a replacement key. I would call Gorilla..

Gorilla Lugs are not all the same key...thats why they require the number on the sticker...

Weld a nut or have someone weld a nut on the top of the lock then take them off and throw them away..
