    Maybe something like this? Same top I think, different bottom side. Might be a lead?

    I think you are correct that these are Gorilla locks. I just called them and found that their locks are like a lockset that has hundreds of combinations. They can't (or won't) ID the specific key unless I have the registration number. I'll work on a destructive removal tool, but need a thin wall tool to clear the wheel. Thanks for the help so I know I can stop looking for a key. Jim

    I was afraid that would be what you discovered. I had the same problem with a set of Champ 500 wheels on a 76 Corvette and was able to remove the locks without damaging the wheels, so good luck. When I put the new American TT two's on the car I found an old leather zippered cigarette case and put the lock for the wheel locks, a spare set of lugs for the original spare, a hex key for the cap and a 13/16 socket and put it in one of the rear compartments so I knew where it was.
