Lost Wheel lock key.

get a high quality 12pt. socket that is 1 size smaller than slipping over locking nut & drive on with a 2lb hammer....worked for me w/oem Nissan locks.
you will need a vise to knock lug out of socket & go to the next one....i left my key 45miles from where i was at & performed this,,,was able to reinstall w/factory key,,,just put a couple grooves on sides of locks.

+1 OP this might be your easiest option. I had to do this when the tire shop gave me back the wrong lug key.

I'll order a new lock. In the meantime. Time I have some sockets and a hammer in the back Incase I got a flat and needed to put on the spare
