Any experience with these lugs before?

I just bought this car, and it didn't come with the removal tool. If any of you have had anything like this or know what will remove it, that would be great. I want to get these off today if possible. Thanks a lot, here are some pics of what i am talking about.

I was going to go around the local auto shops and see if they had any. Just curious if anyone had any experience first hand before so.

Yea I went and looked. Didn't have anything in that size.

I will try that for sure.

Anyone else have experience with these? Or might have any other suggestions?

Yea that didn't work. To big. I will find something that works, I am pretty sure I know what I need.

Yea, the t55 is just to small, next size up is probably going to work. I will find out tomorrow. At least I hope it does.

Worse case you can have somebody weld bolts (or nuts) onto the lug nuts and then loosen the bolts.

If it gets to that point let me know, I can help you out there.

I think you may have a hard time finding something to wedge in there. The torx might work....but the lug nuts have 9 spline openings....pretty much anything you jam in there may get stuck.
