Default Volk Lug Nut Help

Sup guys, wondering if there is any way to remove the Volk lug nuts w/ the 7 sides and notch that serve as the lock. A shop lost my key and now I'm stuck like chuck. Any help is appreciated.

Hammer a socket over it then use an impact wrench to remove them.

Not to be a jerk, but for my own peace of mind...i hope you never get them off. But i'm sure it isn't that hard, thus my wheels really aren't as secure as i would like to think they are.

Thanks I think? Either way though the lugs are one thing, getting a regular socket to fit into the holes of the wheels is another thing theives would have to worry about.

Anyone have a spare key that they don't use or need anymore?

Hate to disappoint you, but that's how the shop removed my lock when the key broke. Contrary to popular belief, locks only slow down a thief. To a pro, they're only a minor annoyance.

Yeah, i kinda knew that but i was just keeping my fingers crossed that it was not the case with the Rays lugs, i knew it didn't float though.
