you might want to seriously check your posts before posting them. G**Damn I cant understand anything you are trying to say so i will do my best to make an educated guess.

1. you got in some sort of accident and you need ot get the wheels off?
2. The wheels are stuck on with aftermarket non factory wheel locks and you dont have the key?

What brand are they, what design, maybe you can contact the original manufacturer of the locks for a key.

If that dosent work, take it to the dealership and pay a tech to use an air chisel/hammer tool to take it of. It will destroy the lock and takes quite a bit of time to do and probably wont be chaep(labor is around $85-105 and hour for techs at dealerships nowadays), but the wheel loks will come off.

Of course there will be a risk of damaging the thread on the wheel studs and you'll have to buy 4 new lug nuts but it wll work.

god bless u all and mwmorph ur anwser are right

lexus can get it off with there key they told me it was an aftermarket lock. but they said they could chizzle it off for 150.00

another option was to take it to my main shop and they would weld somthing to the bolt and pull it off for 40.00

or im gonna park it and just drive my audi till i come up with somthing else i tryied contacting OZ racing rims
but no 1 anwserd.

sry bout the bad spelling but i have a learning disablity

Take your car to a local America's Tire Co. or Discount Tire Co. in your area and they will be more than happy to break them off for you.

yup...

or any other reputable tire shop...

you need air tools and a few sizes of sockets real close to the external diameter of your locks...
