Default How the crap do I get these lugnuts off (came with my MB motoring wheels)

sorry if its in the wrong section, i really dont know where it goes.

They have these stupid lugnuts that aren't a normal bolt. I didn't get a key for them or anything. I doubt its a lock thing- all 24 are like that.

edit:
Wow. WTF. after looking up some pictures on google, the asshat gave me 24 of the security/lock/key style lugnuts and NO KEY for it. I have to drive 750miles tomorrow. sweet.

go to a wheel/tire shop around your area and ask them to take them off, they should have the tools, it will cost you plus 24 new wheel nuts.

Are your lug nuts hex or allen head, I know of some MB wheels that require a very thin wall socket to remove regular hex lugs, so most Discount stores replace the lugs with allen head lug nuts.
