Hello All,
Problem solved in about 10 minutes, just took a 3/4 in 12 point Snap-On socket (in case it broke,LOL) and hammered it on the locking lugs, worked like a champ and did not hurt the socket or lugs. Went to Advanced Auto Parts and bought 4 regular OEM lug nuts. Like others have said a real thief will have them off faster than me, and I had all 4 off in less than 10 minutes. I did ask the PO and he did not have a clue. He was selling the car for his father. And yes the rear wheels were wrong, all fixed now. I actually have the card and original paperwork that came with the car including window sticker, just the lug key got lost sometime after 2011, as that is when the tires were installed, 15K miles ago. Yes I know I need to replace soon as they are getting old. Thanks, Kim

I’m assuming that they might be able to match up a picture?
