Replacement Wheel Locking Nuts / Socket

Well it seems I am after a new set of nuts, or a replacement socket to fit the current set.

The scumbag dealer mechanic that replaced my LCA bushes forgot to give me back the socket (admittedly I forgot to check) and I just recently noticed.
I contacted him and he said he posted it on the 28th Dec, needless to say I am yet to receive it. So its either lost by Auspost (likely) or he is playing silly buggers.

In any case, I will need to find alternate arrangements. It is the for the standard 18" rims on the 2006 3.0R Spec B.
Can you get replacement sockets, or is it easier just to get a new set of nuts (what size do I get)?
(Also, if you cant get a new socket, how do you get the old nuts off, epic predicament?)

Regards

Yeah tough one mate! Has Austpost come good or has the mechanic BS'd you?

I'm guessing these are aftermarket security nuts?
