Check your glovebox carefully to make sure the tool isn't tucked down in the corner.
Also, you can check with local junkyards to see if they have the tool they'd sell to you. It may still be in the glove box of a car they have on site.
Last resort, the car dealership will have the tool. But, they'll charge you a bit to either to use it or buy it.

You have to find out the manufacturer of the security lug and contact them for the proper key to open the lock lug.
I have heard guys try to use extractors by either reshaping the lug itself by filing or other crude methods. This can also destroy the rim and in sever cases it could even snap the stud that the lug nut screws on. Best thing to do is ask a car and tire place to give you the better perspective of what should be done.

There is a 1/2 drive socket you can buy that can remove the security lock nuts. Check with your NAPA dealer.

You need to have a nut welded onto the lock lugnut.Then you can use any type wrench to remove.
this happens a lot on used cars.

the wrong way to remove it is with a blow torch..by cutting the nutt off and then you have to replace the stud...the 2nd way is a good pair of vigripes...the 3rd way could be a chisle and a hammer to cut the nutt...

hammer on a smaller socket and that will allow you to remove the wheel
