Need to figure out what type of lug nut this is to acquire the correct socket key. On a 2016 Unlimited Sport. Wheels are 17".
Locking lug nut update
- Thread starter Regio

Are you asking about the stud thread size, or the socket that will take the lugnut off?
This is probably what the lugnut looks like.

I was refering to the nut itself, although the link you send did look identical to the nuts on my vehicle
Ill probably go to Autozone or some other place to pick up the socket in question
An update to my first post surrouding my lug nut question:
It turns out, the lug nuts on my Wrangler are of a discontinued variant whose key is no longer in production
Does anyone know the ID of locking type?

Have you looked at these lugnut remover sockets?
Amazon.com : stripped lug nut remover

Something like this works too, right?
Don't know, ask them if you can try it on the nut to see if it will grip it.
You may also be able to use a GatorGrip socket, which you can find at Home Depot or Lowe's. A little more expensive, but perhaps more usable later.
If the Jeep is drivable or can be made drivable, I would go over the local tire shop and explain the situation. It is their business to get these things off and they should have what you need or know how to go about getting it off. Most places will help you out for free or might charge you $5 to take it off. You can roll around without one lug nut on each wheel without an issue, just don't make that your permanent solution.

I picked up a new set of nuts with key included, so ill try to go to a jeep-specialized shop to see if i can get help in swapping them out
Its 5 of those nuts on each tire, so its gonna be tricky
Problem is, the nuts already on the wheels did not come with a sticker for a replacement order
Also my Jeep was passed on to me, and i did not gain any information on them from the start
I had to pick up a lug nut remover for when the task is performed
I eventually learned that the nuts in question are Original Gorilla locks, but i need either make a mold of one with putty or remove one completely just to have a chance of getting the right key
Get a 12 point deep socket slightly smaller than the nut and drive it on with a hammer then use your impact wrench to remove. May need more than one socket because it will destroy it.
