I just bought the car and I’m starting to think I was supposed to get the special socket from the owner but not sure

Those look like open ended lug nuts, this is what locking lug nuts typically look like

Check the glove box and all over the car for the special socket it needs. Also contact the previous owner

You might have to get a wheel lock remover kit if you have no success finding the key for those lug nuts.

Harbor freight sells a lug nut master key set. Looking at the diagram, it looks like you might need one of the 6 spline sockets.

I just last week had to remove wheel locks without the key. I tried a wheel lock removal kit I ordered on Amazon, but it didn’t work. Turned out all I had to do was hammer a 12 point socket onto the wheel lock and crank on it with a breaker bar. Wish I had started with the 12 point socket… would’ve saved myself a bit of money and at least a hour of frustration. The socket I used for this survived undamaged btw, so, that was nice.

Those just look like a pretty basic set of splined non-locking nuts. Any auto parts store will sell one of those splined sockets for about $8 that will mate w/ a standard 3/4” lug wrench.

You might have already checked but if not look under the rear carpet in the trunk. That’s where the original wheel lock key would be held. Maybe they placed it there

Yeah i found it. A splined socket is what it’s called thanks everyone

I’d contact the previous owner cause he’s the only guy who knows what wheel lock and lug nuts that he used. The actual lock nut might be laying around his garage, toolbox, his room or in his other car.
