Help! Just got a car home with custom rims - they have the spline type tuner lug nuts…I was given no Socket!!
Anyone in the Burlington Hamilton area (or further) that I can borrow one for a day to use??
Let me know, thanks

Yea, 1990 S13. The rims are custom 16" 4 bolt aluminum “Super” brand rims. The nuts are a tuner style that are round with splines cut into the lug nut instead of flats for a socket to fit on. ( I was told by a neighbor that they are “Spline lug nuts”. I searched the internet and the pics that come up match the look of the lug nuts)

Muteki or whatever lugs? Good luck they don’t make spare keys. I lost mine and got mine off thanks to a lending hand! You can find a socket size that will remove them but damage them if you are desperate.

You can buy just the key from JRP for about 10$.

the sockets are usually reallly crappy and break easy. i broke my 2nd socket when i was stripping my s13 and i only had that night to use the hoist at the shop so a 17mm socket and some hammering did the trick.
