Locking lug nuts.

i lost the lock to my locking lug nuts a month ago and my rims r way to close to the nut to put a bigger socket around it to take it out. its the kind that has like a star shape in it but you cant get anything into the locking nut because the stud stickes out of it. so im at a dead end and i need help. i thought about going to the tires store and seeing if they can do it.any help?
 




it says the snap on is out of stock. darn it. im looking elsewere but cant fnd any. the snap on had one that fit perfectly
 
check mac or matco? i doubt cornwell would have something like that. or take it to a body shop they might have the tool on hand
 
i dont use locks on my car, but my lugs do use a special hex tool. i dont understand locks anyway considering anyone with a brain can get it off, even without the 'right' socket.
 
heres what they look like. i dont have much room between lug and rim to fit anything btween it though. idk if the snap on set will work on it

if you have a socket you dont mind destroying... you can find one that you can slip between the stud and the lock. and take it out that way...
 
no push the socket between the lock and the stud on the inside. if you were rubbing the rim you were on the outside.
 
theres like a star patern inside i and id have to use a small sized socket to fit it between them. i tried that to lol
 


they were on the car when i got them. i just put them on when i got new rims because i didnt want them stolen. but i lost um. im trying everything
