I had to remove those exact lock nuts off my teg few mths ago cuz i stripped the key trying to remove it ( fuggin rust 
).......anyways what i did was go to an autoshop/muffler shop or w/e and what they'll do is weld a lug to it then remove it that way so it'll be useless once removed.....the mechanic had to do it to 2 wheels of mine and he charged $20

Yep weld a nut on or my bro in law used a lug extractor which threads itself on with a reverse thread. Pain in the ass, Ive had to do all 4 on my TL and 4 on my previous 626.

My dealer was cool about it. I pulled up to the side of the service booth. S/W a Service Mgr. told him what I needed to do. He went into the bay and brought out the key and I did it right there in front of him. Took me five minutes. Handed it back to him and proceeded to install my aftermarket gorilla splines.
