can anyone help me get off a stripped lugnut?
Yeah, so I stripped a locking lug nut (you know, one of those funky patterns) on one of my wheels trying to get it off. I've got Rota Subzeros so there's room to get around the nut with some pliers or something. Anybody have any ideas? I don't think I have the tools to do it.

i had the same problem.
they aren't the kyokugen lugs are they? that's what happened to me and a whole group of people. at least you know your wheels won't get stolen.
anyway, if you get as desparate as me just take your car to america's tire co and have them break the locks off. it only takes about 5 minutes and they only chaged me $3 cause i bought my dunlops there.
good luck

have you tried going a step down in the imperial to get a better grip on it?
i stripped off down an axle hub nut on my crx then i stripped it down further before getting it off with liquid wrench and my impact wrench
if you wanna come over and try to impact it, give me a holler.
