I was at the junk yard today and stumbled upon a 95 Eclipse with 2Gb Eclipse wheels. They are powdercoated chrome and looked sexy as hell. I was about to get the lug wrench out and noticed lug nut locks. They are different than the usual locks. Instead of a key like most, I think the tool used to get them off is a weird type of socket. I was wondering if anyone would know a trick to get them off. They were really nicee.
 
You would either have to brake the lock (I don't recommend it) or match the key lock with a key spare at a rim shop. You can purchase them cheap. Go to your local wheel shop and ask.
 
Can you take a pic of the lug? Go to advance/napa/ even walmart and look through their lug nuts until you find the key. 9/10 times it will just be a cheap set of lug nuts and you can get the key for like $10 then just return it when you're done.
 
I didn't think to take a picture of them. I left my cell in the Talon for more...pocket space =) . I am sure I could possibly spot something at a parts store or something. I gotta go back for some Halo 2G headlights, aftermarket 2G fenders, and a couple other things. My buddy wants the lights. I am going to try and sell the fenders. I really hope I find a lug lock tool that will work.
