does anyone know how to get off a konig rim with a special security cover over the lugnuts?

Question

i wrecked the car but only the front left tire and rim were destroyed but i can not get the rim off with that security cover over the last lugnut. i went to a rim shop and they didnt even have the right key to get off the security cover. does anyone know a site or anything where i can order the key? i already tried removing it by jamming a socket over the top and it didnt work. buying the right key is the only option. does anone know another way? i drive a '93 prelude and the rims are 16's but i cant dop anything with it until i get the rim off. thank you

Answer 1

Where is your key?? I know they gave you one when you bought the rims. Call konig and find out who has a master set of keys for the locks. If you are going to use the wheels again, you'll have to buy another rim and another set of locks. They normally don't sell them individually.

I had a guy that worked for me and he had the wheel locks, and I just took a cutting torch and burned them off so he could fix a flat tire. good luck.

Answer 2

You can purchase a replacement key from Konig online. I have also had good success with using a flat blade screw driver and fitting the end of the blade in between the center pin on the bolt head and the outside "wiggles" of the lock.
