omfg my wheel lock is broken into half...
 
I can't even believe this OEM piece a sh*t wheel lock just got broken into half while I was screwing it back on and rest of half is just screwed in there and I can't get it out.... and today I noticed that one of my wheel locks on the rear wheel on the pessanger side is missing...I think it was exploded?? I see many people having same situation like me with OEM locks...so stupid...how can it gets broken into half with my strength? I'm not even that strong man...anyone knows how to remove that half of my wheel lock screwed in?? and please recommend me a good lug nut company? (I like Muteki) specific item that fits my oem 18in rims?? Thanks guys :tiphat:

Are you sure you have the right wheel locks? I think you have the wrong ones, that's why it broke and the other one is missing.

Yes!!

Not find a socket that fits over the broken wheel lock and bang it in carefully with a small steel sledge hammer. Be careful not to scratch the insides of the wheels while removing the broken lock, another of is to have it removed at a tire shop.

The after market lugs does not make shoulder type lugs.

The only option is colored stock lugs if memory serves me right.
