couple of things u can do, take it to a tire joint and they can just drill them off...or if they are the lock nuts that u can get from like autobarn like saas then u should be able to call up tha company that makes them and quote the number of tha lock nut and they send u out another one i dunno how much it costs but i know it takes up 2 2weeks for the **** to get to ya hehe

what you can do - which alot of wannabe theives do is get a socket bigger than the locknut itself and belt it over it - then undo it
same goes with the inside - find something you can belt in there and undo it with
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dont you mean just a bit smaller?
also apparently if you get a good chisel and whack it nice and hard you can split it in half. give a tyre joint a ring im sure theyve done it a million times.
