Well they are coded ... Like Ford, there are numerous key layouts.
Best bet and easiest .. and probably cheapest way out if you cannot find any code for them is to buy a new lock set. Some here are only £7.99. That is less than a key will cost you.

Make sure you know if wheel has a steel insert for a standard nut seat, or they require a spigot or seat on the nuts to engage with the wheel. Check an original nut .. If they are just tapered buy these ..

If you contact these people, they will advise you of a garage near you that has the tool who will remove the locked nuts for around £30. Or you could buy the tool yourself for around £130.
You might think the garage is on to a winner, getting its money back in 5 or so jobs – but each removal involves the use (consumption) of special tool which is formed into the shape of your locking wheel nuts.
Before taking such a drastic step (expense), check the handbook in the glove-box to see if there is a card for the locking wheel nuts – showing the manufacturer and unique code. The manufacturer will then supply a replacement key, for a fee.
