the person before you bought a set of wheel locks.. is it like that on all 4 tires...or was he an idiot and did all 4 locks on 1 wheel... u would need an extension to remove them... or a specialty wrench that might be used in ur local wheel/tire place

generally when u get wheel locks... it's a set of 4... one for each wheel to prevent them from getting stolen easily... but the guy before you apparantly put all 4 on one wheel... if the rest are normal... then he is an idiot... see if u can get the key from the guy... if you don't talk to him anymore.. try to see what ur local wheel/tire guy can do

Thank you. It's on all four wheels. I'll try the hex socket and if that doesn't work I'll take it to the tire place.

those are a type of wheel lug that wont allow a socket to go over them to scratch the rim. try to contact the seller and get his key from him. oh and when you take the rims off, leave them off and sell them. those rims are so 1999 h:
