Anyone with 5zigen wheels, please read!

A buddy of mine has a set of FN01R-C's installed on his car with the 5zigen lugs that came with the wheels. He can't seem to find the exclusive socket that fits the lugs and the closest thing i can find to fitting is a 17mm socket but it really isn't the correct size and i'm worried about stripping the lugs considering how tight some of them are.

Does anyone have the 5zigen tool to get these lugs off that i could borrow or know of a way to get these lugs off the car?

they are called locking lugs nuts because a key is needed to get them off.... thats the point .
he obviously had it at one point to put them on, he just needs to find it to get them off.
the other option is that there is a locking lug remover but it ruins the lugs so he'd have to get replacements.

We have that tool. Used it on my car works well. Stupid lug nut key always goes missing.

wow, did not know that. I assumed Gorilla made different lug nuts for diff applications, and thus, must have different keys for diff lugs. I still find it hard to believe that the Gorilla key for my lugs would work on every other set...but oh well.

I shredded the key one time trying to get a stubborn lug off (thanks to the autobody shop using air tools instead of hand tightening....) called discounttiredirect.com and they sent me out a new one..

those keys are poor design, imo. A long cylindrical sleeve simply elongates the distance of the wrench from the lug nut and makes it much more susceptible to damaging.

I believe there are different sizes.....I've ran into it before when I tried to use my brothers key to take my lugs off, it was too small
