Fairway Alloy wheels lug type/size

flafishergal

I'm trying to figure out if there is a local equivalent to this tool:

WSKEY 19mm OD Spline Socket Key

So I can take off my rims on my 2012 Club Car. So far, the ones from the auto or hardware store are too short.

Anybody know where I might get this on the local level?

Thanks!!

Pretty specialized tool for the unique lug nuts Fairway offers. Not likely it will be found anywhere but at a dealer who sells those lug nuts. Or online.

Try a deep well 3/4" socket.

If you are going to toss them, use a stud extractor or RoboGrips and they will come off. That is a incrementally splined socket and there is no other standard socket that will slid over those splines unless you are wedging it, which again, will ruin the plating on the lug nuts.

I just bought 2 of them from discount tire....$6 each and always in stock

Thanks all for the advise. The nearest Discount Tires is two hours away, so driving there probably won't work. I was hoping to get something at Autozone, etc. Or even an RV parts place.

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll order from the Fairway site... but that means no golf cart for another week.

It is a very common key, Any tire shop that sells aftermarket wheels will have it.

I had a problem with finding a thin wall socket to fit in the holes for my wheel spacers...
so I picked up a universal spark plug socket like this...

It worked perfect for what I was looking for, BUT... it won't take a lot of stress,
(the 1st one rounded out on the 3rd spacer install, and I had to buy another one)

I'd imagine it might work for your application.

Apparently this tool is 1/2" diameter and 19mm long. I've called local wheel stores, golf stores, auto parts-- they either don't know what I'm talking about or say they don't have it.

These rims are a real pain, you know.

Thanks for all your help and if you have any other thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Its not the rims, its the special theft deterrent lug nuts. Put standard lug nuts on and solve the problem. All lug nuts for golf carts are conical seat, 60 degree.
