Locking lugs

[Jonie]

I purchase Christine (XLR 2007) used a few years back and just notice the wheels has lug locks, how would I remove them if need be and I do not have any kind of key?

Had that issue on a different vehicle. I bought a socket wrench that was the right size and forced it on and unscrewed them.

Are you sure it's the key isn't tucked down in the bottom of one of the map pockets?
And, are you saying that in the entire time you've owned it you haven't had the need to remove a wheel?

I think a wheel/tire dealer like Discount Tires or Costco might be able to help you.

Sometimes it is possible to weld a bolt to the locking lug nut. You will need new lug nuts...

I just had new brakes done for my car. Rotors, pads and new calipers. My lock nut key broke on the first lock, so they had to use a socket. He just hammered the socket on and I had to buy a new lug nut set and locks.

You can go almost any business related retail store. They'll have a key.
