Any Ideas?????
I Have Kyokugen Lugs On My Car. They Are 7 Sided So A Normal Socket Won't Work. Here's The Problem, I Had My Car In The Shop Getting An Axle Replaced And When My Mechanic Put The Wheels Back On He Didn't Put Any Anti-seize On At All. Three Of Them Are Now Seized And I Have Slightly Rounded Off The Edges(trying To Get Them Off) So The Special Socket No Longer Works On Those 3. Is There Any Way To Get Them Off Without Damaging The Wheel???

Re: Any Ideas?????
go to the shop smack him for doing that and only way I know of is to cut the studs behind the rim.
The shop should know you need a good troque wrench and never should hit those with air gun cause it rounds them. He fucked it up and should pay for new nuts and studs look into exetended studs if you also plan on running slicks ever.

Get a Gator-Grip socket. Some auto-X buddies had their Kyokugen lock keys break on them, and they used a Gator-Grip to take them off. This is why as nice as those lugs are, I wouldn't get them. They are too easy to take off even without the key for them.
