Need HELP identifying these lugs before they have to be cut off.
Bought the car and no lug key is present. Any ideas on identifying these lugs used? Lugs will have to be removed soon any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have those. They are Gorilla brand. See the "Factory Style Bulge Black Chrome" in this link...

Get a 12pt socket that will fit over them snugly and you can remove them. Most shops have special tools to remove them without cutting anything. They look like Gorilla to me also.

If that's what the shop suggested, I'd look for another shop. Who knows what other "great ideas" that may have while working on your vehicle(s). |

Now pretty much every shop should have a lug remover kit, it's just a set of sockets with a reverse bite, hook up to an impact and off in about 2-3 seconds each I even have one of the kits in my garage toolbox just in case

I'd probably just replace these with OEM lugs once you get them off, any serious thief probably has a keyed lug nut removal kit so these locking nuts are really just more of a headache for the owner.
