What kinda lugs? The generic "gorilla" type lugs, or is it just one lug that locks?

I've done the bang a smaller socket on it and rip apart the metal so it will hold method. That works. Or, you can always call the lug nut company with the serial number and they will send you a new one.

I know what kinda wheel locks you are talking about......the subaru wheel locks are like that, sort of a blank socket with a raised wierd shape.....i have my subaru one, i dont know if its the same design though.....take a pic and post it on here and ill tell you if it looks similar at all. :D
