I had the same problem when i bought my car but unfortunately i had no idea what to do and had mine drilled out but a tire shop should be able to put a socket on them and get them off fyi i paid $40 and you really shouldn't pay anymore than that

 

Sounds cool. Thanks alot bro. Ill give you guys a update if i get it done

 

no no no you can just go to mitsu they have a lug key set and can match it up and order you a new one.. or just take em off for you..! and believe it of not its also 35 bucks for the key.. happened to me also!

 

Or you can just get a socket that fits and bang it on then you should be able to take it off. You will need 4, I had to do it for a friend.

 

Get a 12pt 21mm socket and hammer it onto the lugnut. Able to remove all 4 by doing this.

 

same thing happened to my friend, he turned down a side street(conveniently mine) and his rim snapped off, his car bottomed out and only the centerpiece was attached to the car. he didnt have the key and one lug was stripped. he was in the road when this completely unreasonable cop came and started calling a tow truck. we eventually snapped the lugnut off, threw the spare on and raced off as the tow truck was showing up. he lived 2 blocks away, no way was he gonna pay a hundred dollars to get it towed there. but yeah we did everything and anything to get it off but i wouldnt recommend it lol good luck

 

Dang what rims were those?????

 

lol y wouldnt you just go to mitsu and buy a new key so you can keep the locks.....
its amazing how cheap evo owners are.......

those are mitsu lug locks BTW.. just go to mitsu.. if you use the socket method you risk bangin up your rims..

 

Probably Rota's lol

I'm having the same problem. I'm about to just bang a socket on and give it a try. I need my winter wheels on before this supposed snowfall this weekend.

 

I didn't need the oem locks anymore and only a risk of damaging the rims if you cant aim properly.....

 

Well forsure im not using the banging method. Im gonna go to the mitsubishi cause i dont wanna mess anything up. LOL!! I rather pay 35 bucks for a new key then messing it up and paying a whole lot of money later on. lol.

 

get the impact hammer out .....

 

exactly its only 35 bucks.....

 

stock rims on an 04 spec-v.

a few weeks later we found anotehr rim was starting to crack
