SSR 7 sided wheel lock key
 
1 Attachment(s)
As the title says I am looking for a 7 sided key for my lug nut, I lost mine and can't find a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? The wheel shop offered to break it off but I would prefer to get a generic key or original if possible :)

The lug nut is not an SSR original lug nut for sure.

You need to find out which lug nut manufacturer or get the key number. Because each manufacturer has different patterns.

You might need to break it off.

that's what I will most likely do, I was hoping I didn't have to since it will cost me to find replacements :\ thanks for chiming in :)

Even though the more expensive way to go, i recommend you get the actual six sided SSR lug nuts. Worst case if you lose them again, you can still save the history (Serial number) or have reference to buy if you lose it again.

Usually the 7 sided is the locking lug nut from Rays. Check it out.

I hope your lug nuts are not really made of aluminum... :icon_tdow

Most shops either hammer a socket on and air-tool it off or, in extreme cases, weld a nut to the lugnut. Either way the offending lugnut is toast.
