lost my freaking lug nut key man... not for any A/M rims just the original nissan rims with hubs....how can i get these suckers off?

 

Take it to a shop; they have impact sockets that will take them off. Same sockets thieves use to jack rims...

 

okie dokie...any other way? or is this the only way

 

Thats pretty much your only option.

 

u could drive to buffalo ny and have McGard make u antoher key...since they make the "NISSAN LOCKING LUGS" if u have the original package it should have a key code on it so u can order.....or call ur local dealer it might be listed with the VIN in their ocmputer system

 

ya locking lugs are always a problem

 

If Mcgard makes them,you might call their customer service number and ask very kindly. They might be able to help you if you provide proof of ownership and detailed description or photos to ID the lug nuts. They also might send you to a local Mcgard dealer (or a nissan dealership) to authenticate details to their satisfaction .Then again you may be forced to use desperate measures to get them off.

go to midas...40 bucks total to take off all 4 locking lugs...

 

Try a tire repair shop, sometimes they have really old and damaged sockets on the inside that are not an hex (six sides) and are almost round, that will take them off. Try a few shops. I hear that thieves use some cold freon to freeze them and then just hit them with hammer and brake; other just heat them with a torch and then use some pressure pliers, etc...
