Funny, have the same problem with my Mini at the moment ...
Don't think the dealer ever gave me a 'key' (more of a male/female adaptor)...not in the toolkit. Wheel is bent and I can't drive the car to the dealer now...
So, here is the advice I got, similar to Krystar... 'buy sockets at sears - 4 of them, just smaller than your wheel locks. Hammer the socket onto the locks, and remove them.'
I'm going to replace with standard nuts as I don't want to deal with this nonsense again. Hardly any real security gain from these 'locks,' but I suppose it's good for dealer margin
