Factory Locking Lug Nuts?

I have a 90 LX that need the tires taken off. The car has locking lug nuts that I never seen before. Other than the dealer, where can I go to get a socket to take them off?

Most tire shops have a special tool that will whip those off in a second.

+1^^ I would find a socket that will just barley not fit on the outside and pound it on...that is what I did with mine.

I don't think those lockshave universal tools...other wise what good would they be?
