Oddball 7 spline lug nut tool	Sign In

My wife has a set of FAST rims. VIA 690kg, 16x7jj, mounted on a 2007 Santa Fe. Someone broke into her vehicle and stole the lug nut tool.
The outside diameter of the tool is 21 mm, 7 spline, inside (top of splines) about 17.5 mm. It seems to be a custom size as everything we can find is 7 spline 22.5-23.0 mm OD or 6 spline 20.8-21.0 mm OD. This appears to be an oddball combination of the the two, the smaller size with 7 splines.
I've been searching online for a couple of days now and most sites don't give the dimensions of the tool other than the wrench size that fits it.
Meanwhile, if my wife gets a flat tire she is stranded.

I don't know any way to identify the socket without knowing the brand of the locks. You might want to stop in a tire store and see if they can be any help. The worst case is they have tools to remove them and you can replace them with a new set of lugs and locks.

If not I'll have another one in my collection. I can open up a tire shop.
