If you have the all of the original paperwork that came with the Vette, there should be a card from the manuf. of the lug nuts (Amcor) with the ID# of the key. It will inform you how or order a new key.
Dino's tire and wheel in Tulsa had a whole box of the keys. They let me try them till I found the one that fit. I took them off and put regular lug nuts back on. I think I gave them $5,00 for their trouble.
The locks with a special socket in the end are MUCH more secure. Just remember to be careful when torquing and removing these. NEVER use a powered wrench. If you break off the socket or loose the key, they are hard to get off.
Sears sells "easy outs" for lug locks, they work good on locks with external "ribs", but won't work on hardened/round "socket in the end" type locks. Hammering a socket on works for the locks with external "ribs" also.

yup, mine was missing and if you don't have the card that identifies the number, like me, I sent them head on pics of the nut and they identified it from that...

Hopefully you have the card - it makes it so much easier. Otherwise, you might check with a Chevy dealer or a tire store and see if they have a key that will work with the locks.
Grab a socket, put it on your lug nut and beat it on there. Then back it off. Throw socket and lug in garbarge. BAM. DONE.
I've done this on a couple other (non-vette) cars. Just use a half-decent socket that's larger than the lug and pound it on. Bada-bing! Off it comes...
