i have a 90 mk3 turbo. the car came with really ricy chrome 19in rims, the guy b4 me used a locking lugnut on each wheel, he neglected to tell me he stripped the drivers side lug nut pattern. he used and impact gun on them too, so they are on there good. does anyone know any tricks or methods to get them off, thanks

some say to find a socket that is slightly smaller than the lug and hammer it on there....

you will destroy a socket but you may get ur wheels off

a hammer and a heavy duty flathead. Make a notch on one side of the nut and hammer at an angle to loosen the nut.

Like this^^.Use a chisel though,and make sure you hammer in the right direction.Tightening the other 4 lugs can help a little too,(takes some of the pressure off of the locking lug.)
