Removing wheel locks

I lost the key to my wheel locks and don't know how to remove them. I bought the Mac LT 4200lugnut remover, but it turned out to be too smal

Theres a product called "Gator Grip" ....basically a universal socket. Just pop it over the lock and use a ratchet with cheater bar. Although I'm not sure how big your wheel locks are because the *might* be too big for it, but they shouldnt

i have the same dang problem. i bought my car without the knowledge that wheel locks were on the wheels. Big-O-Tires said $10 bucks per tire to remove them. how much does that "gator grip" thing cost?

Do you have any documents or serial numbers from the lock set when you got them? If you have the right info you can always get another key from the lock manufacturer.
