I would suggest taking them to a rim shop, they should be able to get them off. If they were McGuards, you could pick up the snap on kit from CT.

yea they are real pain if you lose the key, or damage the lock itself.

Do you know the brand of the lock nuts??

If you know the brand, why don't you try to find out if they have a similar key.

Are these on rims or steelies??

If they are on rims are the lug nut holes big enough to fit these http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog

If you decide to use this tool, you will need new lock nuts.

Impossible !!! Yes keys are computerized from most companies. There are lots and lots of different keys out there, but I'm pretty sure no one has a unique lock nut key.

Honda OEM lock nuts only have 20 different lock nut variations. So 1 in 20 people with Honda lock nuts will have the same key.

I'm not saying all brands do 20 variations, but I am saying that there's no way that every lock nut key is unique (one of a kind).

It takes me 20 sec or less to take that wheel lock nut off. U need this special tool from snap on. It is like $300 for 6 different 1's. We use to do it to all our customers cars when we can't find the lock nut. All u do is find the right size and hammer it and then use a johnson bar.

I don't have the tool sorry and i can't help. But this is what u do.
