Default Lost my damn wheel lug key...

Can't seem to find the damn thing and I have a flat, so before I destroy them all, anyone have a key like this I could borrow, or know where I could find one?

Were to some ebay C5 replica wheels I got like 5 years ago, has 8 grooves and I can only find ones like this with 6:

i believe if you hammer a 9/16th's socket over top you should be able to remove it pretty easily

Alright got the freakin thing off. Metal on those things is strong, jacking up my channelock sockets. Everything was too small or too big. Had to mushroom the lug with a 21mm, then hammer the 7/8 socket on there.

Sweet. Took it to America's tire company where I bought the tires 5 years ago with a lifetime warranty, and they repaired the tire for free.

Luckily they even carried the exact same regular lug nuts, so I bought 4 of those for $1.75 each, and then I brought the car back after I got the tire on and they took off the remaining key lugs for $5.00 each, so only had to spend $22.02 total.

And I got a Lambo to play for a bit lol, he turned when we caught a light together though . Gave him a thumbs up and he smiled.
