one way to get them off if there not too tight would be to use a mig welder and weld an extention onto the end of the nut ,then try to remove it , i have had to torch some off and use a air hammer before on trucks that people have lost there sockets .good luck mike

Found the company that makes them and they are out of business. So it looks like you have your work cut out for you.

Snap-On sells some special sockets for removing locking lug nuts. I have a set. You might try some auto repair shops around you to see if they might have the socket they could rent you. Maybe call a Snap-On dealer if you have them and ask him if he has sold any and maybe he could tell you what shop has them.

Those are spline drive lugs (aka: tuner), you should be able to get a cog from anyplace here in the states that sells spline drive lug nuts.
