Thread: Need help on a lock bolt on my car rims.?

Hi out there. I bought a used car a 94 Camaro and now have two flat tires.

I can not remove the tires because there is special hub cap with a special bolt that I can not remove.

I don't know what the bolt is called and I don't know where to purchase a key for it.

The hub cap says Optima on it.

I would rather not have the bolt cut out, but instead be able to remove it myself. Thanks.
I would like to know what the bolt is called and where to find a key for it.

it is shaped like a star with cyclinder center.
i can't find a clear picture of the bolt but this was the best I could do.

a picture will help. that way we see what your talking about and tell u exactly what to use.

Try the local tire shop. They often keep many keys for cars like yours. Make sure they don't put it back on.

If not you can probably use one of these;
