Default lug nut problem. help please!

I bought this car from my friend with these lugs nuts on the car but it requires a special socket to get them off. My friend isnt sure what he did with the socket. Does anyone know where I can find one? Or how else am I going to get these lugs nuts off? a pic is on the way...

They look like seven-sided lug nuts. A quick web search on that phrase says that they may have been manufactured by Kyokugen.

You have a couple of options to get them off. One is to look for the proper key on the 'net. The other is to get one of those universal lug nut keys, of which someone here has posted a photo in the past.

Not true. For example, you can order the socket/key from this website for $10.
