as said they are all different youre looking at up to 2 hours work to remove the wheels if the locknuts have been tamperproofed with a slip ring

if they aint the spinning outer edge type, then a few cheap sockets (12 sided) and a big hammer, got a pull set of bmw ones of in less than 10 minutes!

theres a few options, iv had success with these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Irwin-Bolt-Grip-Remover-394001/dp/B0000CCXVZ , or you can try an old socket. I once made a tool for a 3pin type locker which was fairly easy, although i presume yours isnt that type. If that fails worth trying to weld a bolt onto it.

hey, i had the same problem with my 55 plate A3, but i lost the locking nut!

I contacted the spares dept at the local stealers who had a small breifcase thing with loads of the locking keys in it.
They matched it then i bought the key and 4 locking nut's from memory it only came to around £25 ish

Give them a try you never know
