or even sears i think would know. i know they replace broken studs so if you break it w/out messing ur rims up they can put new one on.

If they are the Honda brand wheel locks (made by McGard), many Honda/Acura car dealers have a master set of keys that they can use to take them off.

Otherwise, you can take it to a tire shop (as noted above) and they'll hammer a too-small socket around the outside of the lug nuts to see if they can get them off.

use a smaller socket hammer it in and loosen it then take it out make sure you have a screw driver with you cause the locks will get stuck on the socket

if you do it your self make sure you use an impact socket or you might break a regular one. but it is pretty easy use a sledge hammer to beat the socket on.
