There is a tool made specifically to remove locking lug nuts without using the key. Without the tool there is probably a good chance of damage to your wheels or even to the wheel studs. I wouldn't let anyone near my wheels with a torch or whatever else they would use to heat up the lugs in order to break them.

This should work:

This is a similar set but I don't know if the design is meant for locking lug nuts:

An old trick a guy at a tire shop taught me. Buy a set of cheap-o sockets. Hammer a socket over the wheel lock and then use the socket wrench to remove the wheel lock. You'll have to ruin four sockets though, but you'll save $$$ on the labor a shop would charge you. I had to do this to remove a stripped lug nut from my G not too long ago.
