hi, how can you remove the locking wheel nuts if you dont have a key, by the way the car isnt insured tax or mot so it cant be driven down to a tyre place, and dont want any damage to the alloy its self..
thanks

drill a hole and used stud extractors
drill the head clean off
close your eyes, count to 200 and hope the wheel bolt fairies have done it for you.

You can get the sockets designed for removing them, hit them on an then they undo fine. A 2 min job.

I had same problem, I used some sockets with reverse threads on them (can't do this on nuts with the spinning collars).

It worked fine, made me sweat a lot though lol, effort. They were only like 10 squids off ebay, you just keep turning until they bite, then keep going and they'll come off fine.
