There is a special tool made to remove these lock lugnuts when the key is lost. Any tire shop and many other mechanical shops have this tool and can remove the locking lugnuts for you.
The lugnuts will be damaged by the tool, so you will need to replace them!

if you can't pick the locks you can use a old 12 point socket that you can drive on with a hammer then impact them off. of course the will be is sad shape but will still go back on. most of those key styles are really easy to pick by jiggling a gas cap key while moving in and out while turning to the unlock direction usually left. you would be surprised how crappy locks are these days.

I,ve been in the same situation and if you take it to any tire shop they should have the tool to remove them or if you are trying to do it your self you might try usins a impact socket and hammering it on to the locking lug nut and use a rachet to break it loose but be sure to wiggle the impact socket off of the lug before you remove it all the way off

VISE GRIPS lock them on then put another set of vise grips on the vise grip adjust screw that is locked on the lug nut and tighten it as tight as you can that should be enough to keep them from slipping off

I own a shop and we usually weld a bolt to the lug nut then put a socket on the bolt, sure we mess alot of rims up but nobody has complained so far good luck with it, also if you are on the west coast discount tire can do it for 50 bones, thats where i send my customers
