locking lug nuts removal tool?
does anyone know who made the cheap tuner lug nuts sold at pep boys,bought them 3 years ago, they have the 3 digit lock code for the removal tool and here i am with a stripped out tool, bald tires and don't know who to contact to get a new one so i can get lugs off!!!!!! pep's site wasn't helpful and the service at the one nearest me sucks! seriously tossing them when i do get them off any help would be great.

Good suggestion. If you want to spend a few $ you can buy a special socket for hammering on to lock nuts. Snap-on make one.

Those stripped bolt removers work wonders too (like a big socket with some reverse cut teeth inside). Hammer one on, then pop the socket over it and hit it with the impact, that'll take any nut off.

aftermarket wheels have too tight a tolerance to get anything over the outside diameter of lug but hammer and chisel might work, that chain store is nowhere near me, but they do have a cool website. will let all know if beatings work.
