Like Mike says use a 1/2" drive socket, but ideally an old or cheap one not part of your best tool kit, why, because you will ruin it, I have split several and reinforced them with a piece of pipe.
Keep the damaged socket with the spare wheel for next time you damage one.
I chucked mine away, i dont clean the wheels so nobody wants to steal them anyway.

If you are lucky the nut adaptor will still fit. Failing that you will have to get the tyre fitters to remove it/them. They will have probably come across this problem before. They will probably have to be drilled out.

Most auto parts store sell special sockets to remove lock nuts with lost key nuts. Call the tire shop that you are going to use and ask them . Remember , you are fixing to spend $400 bucks , let them earn their money.

Snap On and Mac equipment each carry a wheel lock remover set. you ought to purchase those for around a hundred and twenty.00 some tire shops like low fee Tire will get rid of the locks for fifty.00 fyi, if want be. you are able to try a chisel and a hammer to attempt to knock it unfastened, yet be careful so which you dont harm the sides.

find a 1/2 in drive socket that will fit tightly over the lock and drive it on with a hammer,i have done this many times,sometimes you can use large vise grips, or they make a tool for this

Buy a nut splitter from a tool shop, this will split the nut and it will fall off.

Hammer and chisel. Place the chisel in a rivit that will hold it, then knock it round with a hammer. Will take a while but you'll get it without too much bother.

Special sockets are available expressly for the purpose. See link below.

I grind flats spots on the sides of the nut so I can get a wrench on it.
