sorry I cant help you with the brand... but if it comes down to it, I know the tire/alignment shop by me will take a 12 pt socket and hammer it onto the lug, then rachet it off (if you lost the socket to the wheel lock). Something to consider should you not be able to find who made your locks.

I had the same problem.

I took a 1/2" drive 3/4" socket and heated it up with a blow torch real nice. I then pushed it as far onto the lug nut as I could, then banged it on really hard with a metal mallet. I let it cool off for like 15mins. Then I used the ratchet to turn it off, push in while turning though so the socket doesnt come off the nut.

Good Luck!!!
