Hammer a socket onto them and take the nut off or use a stripped nut removal socket.

RE: locking lug nuts
most garages have a universal adapter set and can remove them for you and tell you what key you'll need, or else the socket will work depending ont he wheels you have[&:], i'd call around and see who has the key sets.... then go to advance and buy your own set of nuts and key!

Hibdon took mine off on two different cars for 10 bucks a wheel... always an option if you don't want to do it yourself.

RE: locking lug nuts
Ive seen lugnut lock removers at parts stores. You just put them on the locking nut and it takes them off.
Or you could pound on a smaller size socket and hope they come loose.
I hate locking lug nuts. I keep forgetting to get 4 regular lugnuts to replace the locking ones I have.

RE: locking lug nuts
OK . Used a hammer and sacrificed one metric socket to get 4 locking nuts. Not too bad I guess. Did work well although just seems painful to kill a good shiny socket.
