Wheel nut locks - ID help request
I recently bought a 1940 Buick which is about 60% a 1979 Camaro. The engine, tranny, rear end and front suspension all came from the donor car. It's not a showcar but should be a nice driver after I get a few things sorted out.
The previous owner put a very nice set of wire wheels on the car in 2013 with spline type locking wheel nuts but could not locate the key for the lock nuts. It is not a regular spline as the splines are varied in width.
The shop which installed the wheels doesn't have a clue about the locks. I am hoping someone may recognize the locks and tell me what brand and maybe where I can buy a key...
I can get them destructively removed but both shops I spoke with said 'there may be some wheel damage'. One shop uses a left hand thread remover; the other hammers on a 12 pt socket. Either way, I'd prefer to have the key if anyone can help.
Thanks for any help....
