Grab a set of 1/2 drive 12-point sockets and find one that will start to fit over the lock but doesn't go all the way over it. Put an extension on the socket and give it a few good smacks with a hammer. It will wedge the socket on the lock allowing you to remove it with a ratchet.

I did the same thing with my truck I just got a 22mm 12point socket and lightly hammered it on and racheted it off. you could also take a picture of your lug nut and send it to gorilla and they might be able to match it up? I know you can do that with mcpherson lugs.
I have boyd smoothie II and 21mm fits super tight, and 22mm wont even go in the lug hole. I think I'm going to grind out a 20mm socket and leave like one or 2 teeth.

Metric & standard,, Which ever fits better once pounded on!!You may even want and use a torch to lightly heat the socket once removed,,the lug should fall right out!!Cool with water and pound it on the next one !!
I SECOUND THIS IDEA!!!Works on everything else!!! why not lug nuts LOL!!Definatly!!! 12 point!!

I guess nobody read the part about the socket thats big enough to hammer on to the lug not being able to fit in the hole on the wheel...
Man I dont know what to tell you.
Take a picture of what it looks like and post it. Can you get a center punch on it and knock it around using it???
