MCDRAMA comes through in the clutch
EDIT: Matt came through with the key and problem solved. Thanks again man...let me know if you ever need anything. Thanks for all of your help and suggestions.
So I am trying to remove my front left wheel/tire (ROTA's w/Gorilla Tuner Lugs). The last person (shop) to put the wheels on got a little carried away with the impact wrench and I CANNOT get the lugs loose. AND, the key is stripped...so it turns freely around the lug when torque is applied. The guys at Auto Innovations know exactly what I'm talking about...they torqued/twisted a key that they had trying to get the lugs off of the back wheels to install camber bolts.
Does anyone have a Gorilla Lugs Key that I can borrow for like five minutes. I'm in Palo Alto but can come to you. There's a six pack of Red Tail in it for anyone who feels nice enough to lend a brotha a hand.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Gorilla lugs are the POS I'm finding out...quality lugs make a huge difference (I know...you get what you pay for).

Can't wait to see pics of the car though....
