Default Lost lugnut key

I've been to two Ford dealers and a bunch of shops and nobody can help me for under $100. I need the key that has 6 splines on the outside that is needed to remove the locking lugnuts. I am in central NJ by woodbridge mall if anyone that has it is close I'll drive to you and give you like $10 to let me use it and get these lugnuts off.

a 17mm thin wall socket will fit it perfectly... no hammering required
