Jaguar S type lock lug key

I bought a 2003 Jaguar s type used as is and I didn't check for the lock lugs on stock rims. Chock it up to inexperience on my part. Anyway, I hit a fire hose laying in the road last night and I found out that my car has lock lugs on it, with no key in the rear of the car. I checked throughout the car, thoroughly, and I couldn't find it. Does anyone know where I can find a key to get the lugs off of my car? Or how they can be taken off otherwise, without tearing up the wheels?

this was just talked about within the past couple weeks, searchy searchy!

Head down to your local tire shop and see if they can remove them for you. There are ways of doing it where it wont mess the wheels up.

Waylon, what you will need to do is to get your hands on a 19mm impact socket (not a standard socket, but a black impact wrench socket). Then you will put this socket in front of the lock on the wheels and using a hammer (preferable a BFH), you will end up beating the socket on to the locking lug nut. Then you use a 1/2" breaker bar to get the lugnut loose. Repeat for the other wheels. From there you will end up getting 4 new lugnuts to replace the current locking lugnuts. That is pretty much what the tire shop is going to do.
