Corvette wheel locks..lost key?

Went to remove a wheel and found out I have lost my key

Can anyone tell me if this is a GM lock and if they came stock on all Vettes ?
They are 5 spline and are not evenly spaced.

Thanks!

Bang a socket over it and twist it off.

you can also grab some irwin nut extractors.....

i lost the key for my oem "perfectly round" locks and the nut extractors did nothing... i eventually found the key, but it would have been a total nightmare if i hadn't..

something like this....

Amazon

edit: looks like they were mcgard locks....

A locking lug nut removal tool is available on Ebay or Amazon for about $15. Your favorite tire shop probably has one.

As already mentioned a socket can often be hammered on.
