Tips for removing wheel locks?
so, long story short, we bought an '02 Honda Accord for the kid (manual trans, of course
 ). The car has aftermarket wheel locks, and of course the key is long lost. Plus, the tires are badly dry-rotted, so they are unsafe and must be replaced before we do anything else.Anyone have any suggestions or tips for removing the locks? I don't care if the locks get destroyed in the process, just don't want to mess up the original wheels, and, if at all possible, don't want to spend hours doing this either. If you're concerned about posting theft guidance on a public forum, please send me a PM instead. Thanks!

recommend a quick Google search, as there are loads of short videos showing how to power them off.

I'm googling now. Unfortunately, all the tips I've found are for different style locks than what are on the car now.

Post a pic of one of them. Did you include Honda Accord in the search?

Maybe one of the local autoparts stores/ tire repair shops have a loaner master lock set like this?

I thought about this socket, and low and behold there was a youtube video...
If its perfectly round that might be an issue, ways around that as well..
