If you can't find the key, best just take it to a tire shop, sign their waiver and let them get medieval on it.

Guy at tire place said could be 50 to 100 to take em off. I’m trying to do it lowest cost possible. 

Grind 2 flat spots and you take it of with a spanner.. (open wrench) simple..

 

They also sell hardened cone shaped sockets with teeth.  You hammer it onto the wheel lock and it bites into the nut to allow removal.  I'd be a bit worried about grinding flats as you don't have a lot of space to work with before touching the wheel.  I'm assuming you are trying to save the Chromodora wheels.

Bolt extractor. I usually use them with a breaker bar and tap on the back with a hammer as I try to rotate it to help it dig in.

I have also beat them off with a chisel, but that is much less fun

yo jeff   i like the cone shaped socket....  can you show me a photo of one??

just for reference - I won an auction on this >> Sunex wheel lock remover. (Not at home right now so I can't snap a photo)

Maybe google has some better photos - at least it gives a starting point. 

It was used, and some of the 'teeth' had snapped off some of the sockets. I don't recall if any of the sockets had that many teeth to fit over your application
