You want a socket that's slightly smaller than the lug nut. When you hammer it over it bites into the lug nut and you just attach a rachet to it and turn it off. It's really easy. The only annoying part was getting the lug nut out of the socket.

Alright, thanks. I think Ill pick up some new lugs, replace my stripped one(s) and replace the wheel locks after removing them.

Damn! Nice! I think I'll have to pick up one of those sets, removes both wheel locks and stubborn lugs

See, like what was said before, 40$ and a ratchet and you can get by most wheel locks, wheel locks are pointless unless you have it custom made or something, but who is going to do that unless their rims are like 5000$ a piece

^ Yes, those things work on some wheels, but... If you look at the inside of them they are super serated. They basically bite into the lug nut and you then go the opposite way to loosen them. The problem is with my wheels on my formula they couldn't get that over my lugnuts because of the way they were recessed. The socket really is the simplest way of doing things. I got 11 locking lugnuts in 3 different styles off in about half an hour.
