find a socket that'll work, or find one you can hammer on somewhat tight

You should have a card with your manual with a code on it. I've got OEM lock nuts on my car, and there's a card in my glovebox from McGard, the company that makes the lock nuts with a code on it for a replacement.

If not, take it to the dealer and they will be able to get a replacement.

If you're in need to take them off right away, hammer a 12 point socket onto it and should be able to crack it loose.

Is yours the OEM puzzle style lock, or splined tuner nuts?
