Take it to a tyre place mate. Somewhere is bound to have a spare key knocking around. Failing that, get some mole grips on it tight and get some torque with a scaffold bar or something.

Hit it harder! When i my mark 2 astra, all four locking nuts were knackered! It took an hour of beating until the socket was on! Keep going, it will get there in the end!

As said, get the hammer out and knock a big ass bolt onto it.

What wheels are they? They dont look in good condition anyway.

I remove around 5/6 sets or lock nuts a week.
You need one imperial/multi spline socket.
one large hammer
and one breaker bar
Beat the soecket over the locknut, get the breaker bar on it, and whilst trying to loosen it keep hitting the head of the bar, the shock treatment always works.

jsut get the perfect tool for this, my old mans got a set, was expensive,but i ve used it a few times, just a socket that digs into the flat surfaces on the bolt head, hammer it on, and just screws out like it normally would, cracking piece o kit

Hammer a larger size socket over the top of the locking wheel bolt.. worked a treat on one of my old cars when i lost the locking wheel key.
+ chances are you havnt put them on to tight so they should come off easy

If the suggestions above fail, you have to weld another nut on top and get it off that way. An exhaust center will be able to do it.

A DECENT socket hammered on WILL get it off, had plenty of locking wheel nuts of this way.

just drill the head off if you are struggling.
