returning from las vegas couple days ago, i ran into a dilemma. My tire seemed to have punctured a nail and is staying around half way pumped. I was going to take off the tire today and get it patched, but i cant seem to find my key for the lug nuts. Thing is i dont have a wheel lock, but just lug nuts that need a certain key to remove them. I tried my friends tool box to see if he had any sizes that would fit my lug nuts, but i have had no luck. So now i can not remove my tire, i cant drive my car... any ideas on how to take off my rear left wheel? (btw my wheels are aftermarket)

it would help if you knew what type/brand of lugs are on the car

If you can't find the right key anywhere you might need to go to a shop and have them cut off. I dunno what else you can do if you can't identify the right lug key. I make sure to always keep my special locking lug key tucked in my cargo net in the back, in case I need to swap out the tire on the highway or something.

If you go to discount tire they can probably get it off for you.

Like sry110 said. A mechanic will bust them off for you.
