Wheel locking lug nuts
Alas, as fate would have it- I lost my key to my OEM wheel locking lug nuts. Any ideas on how I can get these off. So far 2 garages said no because they were afraid of damaging my C5 true magnesium wheels.
Also looking for lock replacements....Aftermarket ones won't work (because you need threads to screw on the plastic lug nut caps)

regarding replacements, I got the right kind from McGard, the ones with the external threads for the plastic caps. McGard 24012.

before I mount them, though, I order a couple extra keys, and a couple extra locks. I have visions of the key falling on the ground and rolling into the storm drain.
