When I bought my STi, it came with locking lugs. The unfortunate thing is it never came with a key. Is there a way to get these off without killing my wheels???

 
Post a pic of what your lug nuts look like, there is a chance someone else has the same style and can let you use their key, or can tell you where to get another key.

 
I believe its the oem subaru locks but I dont have the packaging or anything to identify which lock is it

Your goin have get it removed no one else's key is goin to work, they make a tool that is used for removal of locks..

 
Other peoples keys can work. I have seen it many times. It just all depends on what brand they are, and until we find out for sure with a pic, than we won't know

 
I have a secret set of EZ Out type tools in my box, they have hardened steel teeth with a hex on one end, they fit over rounded/rusted nuts and (almost) always work to get things off. Might be just the ticket for your needs. made by Irwin

 
Subaru will have a master set. They'll need to match yours up and order it. Prob 40-50 bucks.

 
I had this same issue with the Lexus I bought a couple weeks ago. It came with locking lug nuts, but no key. I could either get a shop to take it off, since they have a special tool, or get it off myself. I took a 19mm 12point socket and hammered it on each locking lug. This broke my socket, but I was able to get all the stupid locking lugs off.
