LOL. If I had the OEM coupe wheels, I could just leave it outside sitting on some blocks and wait for someone to do it for me.

Surprisingly, I haven't seen or heard of coupe OEMs being stolen around here in Houston. Shocking.

+1 on this method! It works, you'll have to replace the socket though.

Thanks for the suggestions. None of thees methods worked because these are not OEM wheels or locks, they are a small diameter lock set recessed into the small lug opening on Volk wheels. Gator grip socket and damaged nut removers and bolt outs were far too big for the small opening. Hammering a thin wall socket on the lug most definitely did not work (tried it on several occasions) , it is hardened far too much for that. I eventually was able to remember the brand (Bull Locks) and order a spare key to remove them. Thanks for all the suggestions though.
