    Does anyone know where I can get a key to get these wheels off my car? It didn't come with one.

    No, its a 10-point. Check with a Discount Tire, they usually have keys or can get them.

    If the opening at the end of the lug nut is small enough you may be able to pound a 1/2 drive ratchet in it. But I would check with some places that sell this style lug and see if you can get a key.

    That was my first thought but it is right between 3/8" and 1/2".

    I was digging in the car last night and found a key for a different lock nut. Argh!

    That is what I am leaning toward but I want to see if I can find the right key first.

    There is a lugnut group buy going on right now if you decide to ditch these.

    Edit- looks like you will have to make a few more posts to get into that thread though
