can you try hammering a socket on to get them off? you could always get a new set of locks and a key. i think SLP sells them cheaper than the dealers...

i believe they are different patterns, just get a new set and replace all the old ones. i doubt you'd be able to get a key that works for the ones you have unless it is tied to the vin, which i also doubt...

If you're talking about the factory stock odd shaped lug, just find another fbod on the road and ask if you could bum his key for a few minutes. Make sure you bring a tire iron and just undo the keyed ones and put some temp lugs on. I'm sure theres got to be some nice fbod guys around you.

problem solved with a 21mm sparkplug socket and a big hammer, im now riding on chomeie's

on a sidenote though i used a 21mm sparkplug socket and when i had one locknut out i just sawed the socket in half and used it again. so i just used 2 sockets... just a heads up for someone doing the same and is up for a $ or 2 of savings
