Since I have owned this evo (9mr) the previous owner has passed away. I have never had to take the wheels of until now and noticed the car has wheel locks. I was wondering of some one knows what brand this is so I can get a key for it. Or if you know some trick to get it off with out to much damage to the wheel itself. Also I think I need "mag style" lug nuts to replace them with is the correct? Thanks!

Looks like that maybe a 5 point locking nut

This maybe the key here: (please double check)

Thanks. I just found the key. The PO had it taped in to the oem lug wrench.

Also that link you posted does look just like what it is. Thanks again!

When you get the lugs off, you'll want to match the taper of the current ones if you want to replace them. They are most likely a V shape and OEM or steel wheels use a U shaped taper.

They come with shank-style lug nuts. I'd HIGHLY suggest staying with them.

Shank style.. Thanks!

For sure! They will look something like this. Some Toyota lug nuts will also work.

One way to remove wheel locks without a key is to hammer on a multi-point socket and break them loose.
