I bought the car used, and the guy I bought it from was pretty shady. Matter of fact, the Z06 had regular C5 wheels and tires on it. So there is no guarantee at all that the locking lugs are original for the car.
I'm hopeful I can come up with it tomorrow at the shop. If need be, I will check every socket in the place and take everyone that doesn't look like a normal socket to try them.
The sockets used to remove locking lug nuts kind of look something like a screw remover, except that it is external and bites into the lugnut to spin it off the stud. Heck, Advance Auto might even have the tool and loan it out to me for free, if necessary. They do that sort of thing as a service. Of course, I can see where a really stubborn nut might just get ground smooth instead of unscrewing, which would likely leave me REALLY screwed.
