Default NEED Help...locking lug nut missing

I have an 85 camaro Z28 and there are 2 locking nuts per wheel attached. I dont have the tool to remove these. I am willing to pay $100 to borrow the tool to have these removed. Please see the attached photos as there are 2 different styles. I dont want to cut the rims off as they are quite expensive. Please help if you can. Thanks

x3, I had to use a few 10mm(i think) sockets get all four of mine off. Just grab a impact hammer or w.e. and deliver a few healthy swings. I'd recommend going to your tool store and by a few inexpensive china made 12pts so you're not stuck without a size.
