Question Lug Key Cracked!

Hey guys!

I just purchased a used set of ultralite lug nuts from friend who is parting out his wrecked S2K. He couldn't tell me the make of these lugs. They are all seven sided and are hollow end to end like a tube with threads running all the way through. He told me they were JDM and maybe Spoon?

I was putting my wheels on, and I guess i overtorqued the key because it cracked and no longer will hold the lug nut firmly. Luckily it was my last wheel and last lug, but i will need to replace my tires and brake pads soon. I'd like to be able to take my wheels off.

Can anyone identify the make of this key? Or tell me where I can purchase a new one? It is six sided and measures 20 mm in diameter.

Can I fix the key?

Found 'Em! here they are

and at evasive

At $40, I might just buy a whole new set and keep the old ones as spares. It would be nice to find a cheap key though.

Yoy could probably have the key welded. Free if you know someone that tigs. Even if you don't it shouldn't cost alot.
