Went to tire shop to change a flat and told ‘em they couldn’t due to a missing socket (?). I understand it’s a wheel lock and I looked near my jack and glove box and couldn’t find anything. Do I need to order a whole new set at this point or is there another option? Thanks in advance!

    As someone else has already said, just hammer on a 12 point socket and take them off yourself.

    I did this on a 2013 Lexus RX450h last weekend, so it’s pretty likely that the lug nuts on yours are the same size. In my case they were 19mm, so I’m willing to bet it will work for you as well. This is what I bought:

    I’d just buy 4 of them, one for each lug nut, so you don’t have to try to hammer them back off and re-use them. Total cost is like 16 bucks and it will take about 20 minutes.
