Try the stealership if they are not aftermarket lugs. Tehre was a thread on here last week, I think, with this same problem and possible solutions. Do the advanced search.

If worse comes to worse, use a 12 point socket (you'll probably lose it, too) to get them off and replace with after markets.

It's supposed to be in a depression between the left & center storage well covers....

Do yourself a favor and get rid of them when you can. I had one break off and had to drill the stud out and replace it. What a PITA! If someone wants my wheels, and they can get a jack under my car, they deserve them. Good luck

The factory set came with a little card that had the key number and ordering info. If you don't have that, you can try the dealer to see if they have one that will match up. Otherwise, the socket routine mentioned above is a choice.
