those are "TAMPER" prof lugs or "wheel locks"

did you just buy the car?
did you look in the glove compartment or center counsel or where the spare tire is or in the tool bag maybe under a seat or under the rear seat?

what ull be looking for is a socket looking tool with a hex for a lug wrench or hex socket chrome maybe

if you cant find it you might have to get a regular nut and if you have access to a welder grind off some of the lug and weld just on the inside of the lug and hex nut on all five and then use whatt ever size socket you need and buy new locking lugs and it will come with the set of lugs
 
Looks like the standard "Tuner" style lug. Borrow a socket from a friend or try a 17MM in some cases it fits perfect.
 
yes, it is a tuner lug i just do not recognize these. its my brothers car he got and the owner didnt give him the socket needed.
 
You could take like a chisel and a hammer and get it started like that.

You can get something like this at Autozone or O'Reiley's. It's got reversed threads on the inside that cut into the lug nut to grip it. Not to expensive either.
 
Well you can count the "splines" the lugs have on them if its a 12 spline lug nuts you will need the 12 spline key lock Excalibur Small Diameter Lug Nut Key fits 12-Spline Small Diameter Duplex Tuner Lug Nuts. I had the same lugs and i didnt have the key so ordered one just count the splines on em and look on ebay or something 12 spline wheel key lock items - Get great deals on eBay Motors items on eBay.com!

But now that i look at the pic closer they look to be a 6 spline meaning you would need this one http://compare.ebay.com/like/120654...fa378cf&itemid=120654262937&ff4=263602_304662
