  I used to have a set like these. They are not actually wheel locks, the "key" is universal so if you can order a set it should work. But the first thing I would do is try fitting a Torx bit in there.

Just go to a TOOL store and find a torx or allen head that fits with a 1/2 socket drive and you will be fine. I have done it before but it cost me like 20 bucks.

well, if it is the ones above with the torx style tool, I know the 3/8 extension will work to get them off I would try that before spending 20 bucks or more on a torx driver.
