wow never said you were dumb i just asked a question to lead into a answer. what i was going to say, if the wheel shop put them on and they put them on that tight make THEM fix it. when the local shop put wheels on my truck they over tighten them and i broke a couple of lugs getting hem off when i sold my wheels, i took it to them and made them fix it.

ok so I went to the 3 big name tire shops and they didn't have any, so I checked two different auto parts stores and almost but not quite. They said it is a torx tip, if anyone works at a tire shop that may have these, mine has a number on it if that would help

Tuner lugs are the worst because the open end leave the inner threads and nuts open to the elements... at my shop wev'e got a lug lock removal kit we got from advance but its $80 but you can get off pretty much any lug with it. If you have a # on the lock i can try to get from one of my wheel distributors... If you do get them off you and can't fit a regular hex style lug back in the wheel holes you might want to change up to a spline drive lugnut we haven't had one of keys for those styles break yet

Dose your key look like this ?
If so you can get a socket and beat it on the key and it should come off , If not go buy three more cheap azz sockets repeat 1-3 steps.

3/8 drive extension will line up with 4 of the points and take them off if it is the small lug if not try a 1/2 drive extension...that is what I did when someone lost a key to those when I worked at a tire shop.
