| Need a socket to fit this wheel lock/lugs
I bought a 240sx a couple weeks back, and decided to replace the breaks because the pads are wearing. Unfortunately, the previous owner did NOT have the sockets to match my wheels, so i'm stuck with these wheels, unable to replace the breaks. This is where you come in and I ask for your help!
Here are the high resolution images: http://www.nintensity.net/images/IMG_0885.JPG
and http://www.nintensity.net/images/IMG_0887.JPG'
Where could I acquire such sockets to fit these? Should I try a performance shop? Or should I try a regular Tire store and see if they offer such fitment to get these tires off?
Please help me!
Regards,
Nintensity

Yeah should be no biggie. OR you could see if anyone on RS has a key for tuner lugs that they can lend you. Someone might be able to step up to the plate.

When I lost my key I went out to the rim warehouse/store that's off of River Road there (can't remember the name) and they hooked me up.
Hopefully you don't brake anything in the process.

If anyone does have one, that would be really much appreciated, because, without it, I can't change the brakes = cannot change the summer tires = cannot drive at all. 
Otherwise, i'll call Kal Tire tomorrow for a gorilla lug socket...
@GabAlmighty, where would this Rim/Warehouse store be close by? Maybe I can look it up on the map.
