Crappy Day today help!
 
So, after my tire posts, I had an appointment to switch out my brake pads and my tires but I found out the previous owner of my car had special lug nuts that apparently need a key... My only choice at this time was to break off the lugs for $54 each wheel (and he had it on all 4.) I don't have the money to take out any of the lugs so I just left today. Don't know what to do as my tire's treads can probably only handle another 2-3 weeks before it becomes critical condition and my brake pads probably only last another 2-3 weeks also. Any advice guys?

To be honest I have jack s*** clue. I don't know anything about tires/wheels. I just know I have a Tenzo R Type-M rim and the tire size is 225/40/18. The lug nuts fit snug onto the insert :/

Depending on what they look like, you can maybe get a socket hammered on it and see if it'll turn loose.

I have no idea which one it is but I'll definitely take a look

There can't be THAT many on the market? Can you take a phone pic of your lug nuts, then cruise around on GoogleImages until you see the one you need a key for?

Just double check your car. The previous owner might have left the key in the spare tire area.
