youve got to be kidding me. idk if it was an option or the previous owner was just paranoid but the stock 20's have wheel lock nuts on them!!! found the key in the glove box but the damn thing sucks! cant get them off! and i dont want to drive a socket around them cuz i dont have any extra lugs right now. what the hell should i do? im so close to plasti-dipping my wheels but this has to happen!?

Wheel locks are an option. You may think it's silly, but someone might actually WANT to steal your 20" tires and/or wheels. Is the key chewed up or you just can't get it to fit in right?
