my Jeep was broken into and they stole the tire tools and the key to my lug nuts. So I took it to the tire place and they used what could be described as a bolt extractor and had them off in seconds. Cost me $80 to get the tire dealer to remove them. You can be sure i ordered the extra key this time. I know it might actually make their job easier, I have what they call "tuner lug nuts" that requires a special socket but they are very common. I have them on my race car too. Same spline.
