HELP, Rays locking lug nut KEY

Need some help guys, I was putting my Volks back on today for the summer. I have Rays/Volk locking lug nuts with the caps in the end. I torqued my first 2 wheels down fine(with a torque wrench) then on my third wheel my key just stripped. Ive been all over my local city trying to find anything that will work and cant seem to find anything. Ive looked online just to order the tool with out paying $350 for a whole new set of lugs and cant find it.

Here is a pic of my tool(on the right), where can i order one?? Thanks for any help

Never seen a lock like this before, so the tool is the giant piece on the right correct? If the wheel lock itself has an indentation for that small hex piece, it wouldn't surprise me if you could find an allen wrench that fits.

The stubby bolt and hand-key (left and bottom in pic) are for the lugs cover on the wheel. The adapter (upper right) is for the actual lug-nuts. That they are all stripped this badly speaks poorly about the maker and/or previous user(s).

Are you sure that the wheels are real Volks? I didn't think that Volks ever used those silly lug-nug covers. Plus, Volks are usually made a bit better than those parts seem to be.

I was asking about the wheels, not the lugs.

How would a lug nut indicate a wheel is fake? Your logic makes no sense....and yes, why would i say i own volks if they were knock offs?

I thought that the stubby bolt and hand-key were for one of those lug-covers on the wheel. If that's wrong, then that's why we're talking past each other.

Oh. Then I'd get those things off your car and get normal lug-nuts. But I'll bet you knew that by now, so I got nothin' for ya at this point.
