They seem to have all the same key holes. I have muteki and gorilla on two different cars yet both keys work.

Those are really hard to get off without the key...

But they all have the same key (which is really a socket adapter)

If Im not mistaken... i could be wrong...

The tire shop broke the key to the lugs on one of my other cars. They had to chisel the lugs off. Fortunately, we only had one locking lug per wheel. They didn't damage the wheel at all that I noticed. I'd only recommend it as a last resort though, because the chance of damage is much higher than finding an appropriate replacement key or suitable removal tool.
