I have the lugs that look like sockets with 8 points on it, and trying to take the wheel off today I broke the key, I searched but could not find any online, I do have the code on the key if anyone could help me out that would be great......might be worthless without pics, but I'm not sure how to post them....thanks

Most wheel and tire shops will order you one.

I'm gonna have to go check tomorrow, I see some on ebay labeled "tuner style", but I'm not sure if the key is the same, and mine are all locks, so I have 20 to get off, it broke on the first one

i would just check the shop you got the wheels from.   who put the wheels on??  sounds like they were put on a lil tight.

beating a socket on a round lug lock will still work. it will work on any style wheel locks. but if you gota do 20 the socket will crack after a while.
