Lost lugnut key?

When I grabbed my new toy I didn't realize at first that the rims had a locknut on them. I asked the owner where the key/socket was for them, and he said it was in the trunk with a whole bunch of other spare parts and stuff.

Going through the car today, I still can't find this thing. I'm not sure what manufacturer they are, so I don't even know which company to call. Is there a way to still get these off? I don't care if they are useless after, as I'll just buy a new set. If anyone has info, let me know.

PS: If there is concern about posting this type of info, than feel free to PM me instead.

I would suggest taking them to a rim shop, they will have the tools to take them out without damaging your rims.

From what I remember, there was a tool made by Snap On or something like that. (Someone posted up a link to it)

Yeah. Go to any Active Green & Ross. They can do it for u for cheap. They don't even need to raise your car up. They just use the socket from snap on and put it in, hammer it in and then loosen it with the gun. Takes 5 min to do all 4. I use to work in the shop and we use it a lot of times.
