Re: Locking wheel nut
Bolt or key?
If the bolt then I would just fit a normal hex bolt... if the key then it looks like they are only available as a set and cost around £50-£60 depending on the age of the car - should be able to get a matching set to the ones you've got otherwise getting the other nuts off will be a PITA!!

Re: Locking wheel nut
Removed 1 locking bolt yesterday, it ony took about 15 mins. started with a 9mm drill and went up in 1/2 mm steps to 13mm and wheel fell off, the bolt was 12mm x 1.25 and as soon as the drill had gone in about 14mm untill it had gone through the bolt taper to the bolt diameter the wheel came off. I thought it would be more difficult but in the end was quite easy, good quality drill bits are needed.
