Need quick lug-nut identifying help
I got this Evo used from a person here on the board. When I got it, there were aftermarket wheels on the car (5Zigen FNOR1C wheels) and what appears to be aftermarket lug nuts. The guy forgot to include the wheel nut lock key with the car, so now I have no way of getting the wheels off the car. I can't figure out what kind of lug nuts these are...I've never seen any like these before. They are perfectly smooth on the outside, and have a star pattern that is slightly more than a 1/2 inch in diameter on the inside. Anyone know what kind of lug nuts these are? The star pattern has 10 points, and goes all the way back to the lug (meaning you can see the lug bolt by looking into the lug nut. It doesn't appear to be any strange shaped star (like some aftermarket lug nuts have rounded edge to fit a specific key)...just a normal 10 point star pattern. Can anyone identify these lug nuts? Is there some general tool I could use to get them off? I can't get a grip on them from the outside...and I can't find anything the right size for the inside that won't slip.

Probably not either of those. Probably the second from the left in this picture.
