Lost wheel lock key to Crimson K6's

TTTT · 11-13-2006, 08:44 PM

I think I may have lost my wheel lock for my Crimson K6's...any ideas? My mechanic i'm sure could use his Jesse James tactics to get them off, but I'd rather not...

TIA

the dealer would have a wheel lock for an aftermarket set of rims?

Are you talking about loosing the key to one of your aftermarket locking lugnuts?

Try contacting the manufacturer of the lugs and see if you can get a replacement key. If you can't, I've heard that you can use a hammer to slam a socket over the lug and remove it with an impact wrench. I've also heard other people have used a dremel or cutting wheel to create a cut in the lug and then used a hammer and chisel to effectively split the lug in half.

Once again, those are thing I've read have worked for some people. If you try doing any of those be careful as you run the risk of damaging your wheels, lugs (that's pretty much a given), or studs.
