Go to wheel shop ask if they have a key for that shape

I went Repco, Super cheap, Autobarn, Bursons, Bunning. No body have this tools, is it a lock nuts ? or just a normal wheel nut ?

Check out the tyre factory. I use to run those wheels nuts on my previous rims and bought them from TTF.

My previous set of wheels (also osaka) had the same inverted wheel nuts. Are all your nuts the same shape? Cos i had 2 keys for my set, one was a lock key, other just standard hex shape

All four, it really depends on how long it takes them to get it off. Some lock nuts are harder to get off. They managed to get my ones off and it was a randomly shaped key.

go to a wheel shop and buy a "race nut" key/socket hammer it in lightly and use a breaker bar... then buy new nuts and key and dont lose the key
