PLEASE recommend a tire shop (no lug key and stripped on aftermarket wheels!)
Park the car overnight in North Philly. I bet you anything that someone will figure it out. If you want your wheels back, you may just need to do a stake out and then chase them off once they get the wheel off! Best part, it wouldn't cost you a dime! JK
Keep us updated. What brand lugs were they?

HEY HEY, I live in Northeast Philly and where I am, it is fine and a nice neighborhood.
ANDREW: Did you try Infiniti Service at Ardmore? They do have universal lug nuts as I lost my wheel lock and they had no problem, or times that I just forget to bring it with. Try them. 610 649 3600 hit 2 for service. They are really great there as that is where I take mine all the time.
I brought my car to Infiniti of Maple Shade on Rt. 38 past the Cherry Hill Mall when I stripped my one wheel lock. I was worried because I had my Volks on, but they didn't have any problems removing it.

theknight-i think i understand what you mean...i'll have to try that as a last resort little worried if it doesn't work for me.
thanks sheila, i actually haven't tried ardmore (although that is where i take it for service) i figured cause the wheels and locks are aftermarket it really has nothing to "do" with infiniti.
Zerk, i'll have to try maple shade if ardmore doesn't work.
thanks again guys.

I've taken it to Pepboys (probably stripped them further) and to Firestone Tire Center, neither place could do anything for me. Firestone said they would have to use a machine that would completely F up the rims and that they wouldn't even touch them. Rims are Ruff Racings if that helps....
The lug is an "inny" rather than an "outty" in a 10-point design.
Could anyone PLEASE recommend me a place that might have this random a$$ key or that could safely take off the lugs without damaging the wheels.
I'm in philly so would rather a place in the general philly area (or within an hour of it if need be). I'm thinking some sort of specialty shop or aftermarket rim place might be the best bet since Firestone Center and Pepboys couldn't do $hit.
thank you in advance!

AN UPDATE:
Infiniti of Ardmore said the same damn thing the rest of them said
theknight: if you're looking, can you please explain where the drilling is taking place? i might be stuck with this.
anyone else, still looking for a good solution?
pretty please!

That sucks man. This looks like it would work for your situation. Just make sure you order the right size so it gets some bite on the lug. I would resort to drilling out the stud as a last ditch effort.

GREAT NEWS!!!! (for anyone that cares )
i went ahead and ordered a 10 star lug i found online.
a shady *** website--only style that seemed like it would fit....
well it came and it works!! (i think)
i test fitted real quick and it fit in and seemed to get a good bite so i'll be trying tomorrow under real pressure. i'm guessing i'm good.
SO EXCITED!!!!!
now i can finally get some springs on the damn car!
ps: sold my eibach pro kit and going with something more mild soon....
thanks to all those who gave feedback a while back, that was going to be my attempt if this didnt work!
