Default Help me identify locking lugnut key ASAP?

I bought the car around 3 months ago. The dealership was unable to provide me with the correct lugnut key for the wheels at that point. It's not time for me to get one as I am worried about a flat tire, or needing the swap the tires soon. Can anyone identify the key for me and link me to where I can get one online?





The wheels are 19" F18 Niche if this helps at all.

Thanks,
Brandon

your best bet is to just get one of those locking lug nut pullers with the teeth, itll rip your lug nuts all to hell, and you ll have to replace em but at least youll get em off...just get a new set and keep the key...

There is no way to tell just from looking at them. There could be a hundred sets that all look the same but will take separate keys. You should go get a new set of locks, or a new set of lugs and take it to a tire shop. They normally will have the socket to take off locks when there is no key available. I had the same problem when I bought my Camaro and my TA. Snap on and some other places sell a kit with a few different sockets that will take off the locks, but the locks will not be usable afterwards.

The lugnuts area ll the same... with that weird design.

Incase I do go get these all busted off... what lugnuts do I need to order in replacement? I don't need locking nuts I just want some regular ones to put back on it.

that looks like a spline lock

if they are all the same and they have six splines on them a gorilla spline key will take them off. if you live near a discount tire, tire kingdom, ntb, les swab, or any other fairly large wheel/tire store they should have them
