its like a 'key' for the mags ... you cannot buy them normally, they come when you buy the nuts/mags ... just find some stock nuts maybe? ... use a
chisel and hammer to get them off if they are on the car already.... or call the person you bought them off, they may have the special socket/key that
came with them..

Instead of a chisel & hammer (very violent, can damage other parts) you can drill the middle and then tap in an extractor bolt to turn the nut
out.
EDIT: we were writing our posts at the same time! Yep just get yourself some new nuts

they're 'lock' nuts.
ppl buy them so that the mags cant get stolen.
I have bought mine a from tyre store when i bought mags.
U just buy one for each tyre, and they have a 'key' u need to unlock them. It is important u carry this with u in case u have a tyre puncture, but
hide it. (whats the point of having lock nuts if the key is wasy accessible.....)
hope it helps

 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my
house??? |

Well as you can see in my 1st post, i have these great nuts but have no key for them which makes them not so great, So I either need to buy a Key (not
likely to find one) or buy some nuts that will fit my VW to replace em, anybody know a place in Brissy that would sell those nuts to fit my VW at all,
otherwise Im in a 3 wheeled car and that can be tricky to drive
