Default wheel lock lug nut

Monday nite driving to steak and shake i notice my tires going flat.. so on the way to the gas station to put air in it. Go to put air in it and the sidewall has a 6inch rip in it:bbb: wonderful. getting a tire isnt the problem, i cant find my wheel lock key. i got my rear tires mounted about 2 months ago and i dont remember seeing the key sicne then. I had to get my car towed home and im still shit out of ideas how to get this wheel lock off. im going to try to get a stripped bolt 6 point kit from sears tomorrow, but if that doesnt work how will i get my rim off so i can get a new tire on there i searched high and low for the key to it. what should i do?
ne way to nig rig it too would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advanced

david

+1, maybe the ol' socket, hammer and breaker bar would do the trick.

Hint hint,next time tie the lock around something in the car with a wire tie.

If you have access to a welder, tack a nut onto the end of the lug.

skip school thurs and be at my work at 12-2 in that time frame, that is when the snap on truck gets there.

buy a snap on remover, not the blue point. ive used both, the blue point has a 30 bladed or so remover socket, and it just rounds it and shaves it. the snap on one is 6 bladed, and works almost everytime. we dont have a welder there, and if they dont work, i have used a air hammer a couple times at a 45 degree angle with a couple other guys holding the wheel on the trade ins that we sometimes get stuck with. but it fucks up the wheel everytime a little bit, so you have to have a cover so you cant see the lug nuts if you want to do that
