You should be able to go to a rim shop in your area to get a replacement. There are a lot of similar keys for wheels at the specialty shops. Thats all I can think of for now.

heat them up real nice, and try whatever you did before, if all else fails you can always drill out thestud and get a new one for $1.25

No I'm a major post *****. Call a few local shops and see if they have a universal tool that can take them off.

That heat trick really does work, I wouldn't do it on nice wheels though. I was rotating the tires on my Ranger, and couldn't break the lugs loose (those mofukka's were on there tight), so I got the butane torch and heated them up, and they came off with no hassle at all. I'll never struggle with lug nuts again, as long as the vehicle has steel wheels.
