Default Need advice removing locked lug nuts

So, I was in a huge rush one night and I think I might have left the key on my Rays aluminum lug nuts, and drove off. No more key.

If I can't get a key, worst case scenario, anyone have advice on how to remove these things? First off, if you're not familiar, the nut is 7 sided, so I guess if I can find a 7 sided -> 6 sided adaptor, that could work. Otherwise, any other ideas?

I really gotta get these rims off ASAP--have race brake pads making a mess.

Thanks ahead!

thanks, but i don't think that'll work--the space is very tight between the lug nut and the rim, so the only thing that will fit there is a normal socket. the gator grip looks too bulky.

...any more suggestions? i need to get these rims off asap!

why don't you check on Socal board and see if anyone can help you out.

I am sure plenty of folks run on Volk lugs.
