there's ways to do it, but u kinda lose the lock afterwards.
u can hammer on a socket that's a lil smaller than the nut, and get it off like that, or u can create a lil notch on the nut, then kinda hammer and chisel it on that notch until it turns.
Please confirm with other people before u do this, cuz i don't wanna have u do it this way if there are easier ways. And, if u got it from the dealer like that, i'm sure u can get another one.

I have a 2k3 and never knew I had locking lugs. (Guess I should go look!) Is this standard on all of them?

No. But if the dealer where you bought your Max had any sense they would have already put them on and of course they charge you for them.

Check there first....then panic if they ain't there!
thanks

Well that would be why I don't have them. I am not too worried though--my car is in my garage every night, and if they get past security at my office then I guess I just have to go spend the insurance money as a downpayment for bigger wheels!

most definitely gonna break the lock and might break the stud...but if you lost the lock, its not gonna matter much anyway..except you're gonna have to have the others broken too....
tell your dad next time to either stick it in the glove box or armrest container.

Actually, the best place is wrapped in something that won't bang around and then placed right in the spare tire well.
