Hey everyone,

I left my wheel socket (the adapter that goes on top of the wrench to remove the wheels) at my girlfriends place and now it's "missing". I've got aftermarket Nexo rims, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas how I can get my rims off?

Thanks.

 

are you talking about the wheel lock? if so and it's the oem acura one you can take it to the dealership and they'll get it off.

 

sounds like he has tuner lugs that require a long socket to get the lugs off. You can buy a regular 1/2" long deep socket of the right size for the lugs & use a 1/2" ratchet to take them off.

Also Ebay sells the correct wheel sockets but you need to know the size of the lugs & the lug wrench to size it up.

 

So, I called wheel max and they told me to go to advance auto parts to get the socket...

So, I went to advance autoparts and they didnt have the sockets for em, or anythign close, checking ebay and struggling - the wheel lugs are 12 mm 1.50 RH lugs. The code from wheelmax is C23705W.

It sucks because I just got a new set of rims and cant get them on until I get my old set off.

 

Got to sears & buy a 1/2" drive 12mm deep socket. Then buy a 1/2" ratchet to use it.
Also any tire installer will have the correct tools. May be worth it to check that out.
