Almost looks like you could use a large torx socket on them.
My thoughts exactly...pretty lousy designed "wheel lock" if you ask me...

its not a mc gaurd cause that the reason why i took these pics.
Yeah i know they suck when i get them off im am putting better ones on and one lock per wheel instead of 5.
Also local mechanics say that this type of lock is not the easiest to come off b/c all it does is ruin the bit.
Couldn't get them taken off today b/c it decided to snow so now the car is up on blocks.

if ur just gonna get new lug nuts, take a allen socket and pound it on there,
just make sure itsa craftsman incase it breaks
then when u get one off ull prolly hafta drop the allen socket a few times to get the nut off.

That does work but i would go through an allen wrench per wheel lock which is a lot of time the craftsman way.
I have tried this but everytime i start to get it loose the wrench breaks.
