We are razzing him about this at work, so he goes out to his car to get the new key and ... no key. They "forgot" to put it in the glove box. He goes back and they tried selling him another set! He complained to the manager and they somehow "found" the missing key. Check for those keys!!!

Appear to be McGaurd. My locknut socket grew legs a while back and my local tire guy took a pic of the locknut and sent it off to the McGaurd importer here in South Africa and they supplied a matching socket from that pic. Simple and pain free.

I went to the dealership and they tried about 20 different keys, none fit. All looked very similar to this pattern. My next option is to try to break these off. Any other ideas?

Various video on Youtube on how to remove wheel locks without a key.

The regular tire shops run into this issue more frequently than a dealership...and probably have ways or keys or some tool that will facilitate removing the locking stud without damaging your wheel or other parts of the vehicle. Give it a shot if you haven't already. Good luck.

Tire shops said that they do not want to try it. They said it will risk damaging the wheel and / or hub. Les shwab said the only way is to torch it off...
I was thinking about drilling them off to break the heads off so I can get the wheel off. Then I will look into getting the stud out. Such a PITA
