Any mechanic should have a tool to remove them, and you'll need to have the rest of them removed and replaced at a tire shop.
They make a special wheel lock removal tool and most tire shops would have one. Or you could hammer on a 13/16 or 7/8 12point socket and hopefully it will grab enough to break it loose.
go to the dealer, they will have a key. or call your manufactor's 24-hour road side service.
You have two options at this point. First, have car towed to tire shop and they will be able to get it off (they have master keys to about every locking nut out there) but of course the towing may not be cheap. Second, call the manufacturer of the locking nut and order another "key", this is your cheapest option. The "key" should cost about 15-25 dollars. Good Luck!! =)
A good tyre shop would have a tool to remove them but a log book will be need to prove this is your car
if its a genuine locking wheel nut,contact your dealership with your registration number & vin number and you can obtain one through them.if slow puncture inflate & take to local garage & they will be able to do it.failing that call out recovery service.
Get a lift to the nearest D.I.Y store and get a universal wheel wrench set
get a socket piece and smack it on with a hammer ive done it before and it works every time
do u know where the locking set is sold if so go there for a key
do u know of n e 1 with the same locking nuts if so borrow their key
some tyre shops have keys but dont always hav the rite 1 for u so worth askin 1st
otherwise it can be expensive to hav it broken off a socket will work on sum but not all sumtimes a heavy hammer n strong screwdriver put in to the small hole and hit with the hammer short sharp strokes check to see if it moves put a dot of paint on nut n wheel to see if it moves good luck
Drill it out
