There r tools to remove lockin wheel nuts but there not cheap

 

you could always take it to a garage get them to do it (they should have the tools to remove em)

 

Or you could go down the line of tryin to save a few quid & hammer an old socket on to them or have a nut welded on to em

 

But this can damage wheel if not done correctly

If you can find a similar three pin locking key/socket it wont fit but if you drill one pin out it will, they are slightly offset/coded pins but two of them are usually the same

Ive got one of those 3 pin keys knocking about. Does it have that collar on it that spins? I always smash a socket on them, you need a weighty hammer tho to give it serious force. Garages round my way charge from 5-15 quid a bolt to remove.
