Where can I get the key to get the stock security lug nuts off of my tires? Does anyone have one they would like to sell?

The later Gt's did come with them and probably some others.

Do you want to reuse the security lugs or just get them off. There are around 10 or so different patterns for the keys so you can't just get any one and it will work. You can go to a dealer and they could get you one.

However if you don't want to keep them you can get a lug remover from a parts store that will remove them. (kind of an ez-out in reverse)
Or just goto a tire store and have them remove the four locks for a fee... they should have the removal tool also.

They generally run around $15 or so for one.

There is a web site for the company that sells them to Pontiac that was posted on the forum a month or so ago. They sell them also. Didn't keep a link to the post though.

if they are like datsun lugs you can just use the male end of a socket....i'd be careful...might end up damaging them but they'd be off.

or a giant allen wrench.

Go buy some cheap 12 point sockets that are barely fit and hammer them on (but if its too tight a fit, cheap sockets will split when hammered on).You will probubley need 4 sockets that are the same size (I dont think you can remove the socket from the nut once hammered on).Then use a breaker bar to get the them off. Go to a tire shop and ask for some plain lugnuts or buy a splined nut remover socket.Allso craftsman sells a "stripped nut/bolt" extractor sockets.

If anyone needs new "factory" wheel locks that came with the car, they are Amcor PN 057 and are available directly from Amcor http://amcorlocks.com/store2.asp?type=SETS

The Georgia Fiero Club owns an 88 bare bones coupe. Wheel locks was the only option it had. It has a decal underneath the decklid with the code number for the particular locks. Last year I bought and sold an 86GT that had the wheel locks and code decal under the decklid. My wife's old 88 Beretta also had locks with a specific wrench to fit them. I don't think they are all the same wrench pattern.

My 84 has those security lug nuts plus the oversize black cap for them. I would imagine those oversize black caps should be hard th find.

The plastic caps are easy to find as they were used on many other pontiacs, and maybe even other gm cars. The wheel locks are a pain. The cheap socket method works very well. Get them off and get rid of them. Unless you're in a really rough area, no one is going to go after your factory wheels

I lost all faith in lock nuts..

When I lost my key for my Mazda, all they did is get a larger socket, hammered it on, and took the lock nut off. - took less than 5 seconds. It seems like Midas does that all day long. I'm sure any decent rim thief would do the same..

Hope this helps you get your locks off.

More verification- locking lugnuts were an option. My Dad's 1985 SE has them on it, and he's the original owner.

And GM dealers. Check Black and gray/silver, maybe gold, covers,

Wow, I did not expect so many responses. I ended up just getting the 12 point socket and hammering it on. Thanks everyone again for the help.
