Use a piece of black pipe and pound it onto the offending lug then twist it with a pipe wrench. Chop the end with the lug in it off, rinse, repeat.
I can't afford this.

The van i bought last year in CA had wheel locks no key. Since the wheels were alloy slots there were no spoles around the nuts to get in the way. I took a chisel and made a notch on the outsde edge of the nut when it was large enough I beat it counter clockwise and after a few hits they spun right off.  Don't miss or you will mess up alloy wheels!

Sears has a set of impact sockets for exactly this problem. 
If Sears sells these tools for would-be thieves....why do we continue to put them on our vehicles?
Because knuckleheads like me cant keep track of the keys to the locks.

Tighten the other 4 up more. Then get a flat blade square shank screw driver and jam it into the slot for the key. Find the pattern it fits best in. Then put a wrench on the shank and turn...usually does it for me.

A lot of tire shops have a socket that will go over and grip the nut to turn it off. I've seen them split after hitting them with a chisel or you could weld a nut on them.

Bought new tires for my truck, made a right out of the tire shop in time to see my Mag KEY go sliding off my hood into the black hole of center median foliage!!!!! Gone forever. Turned around, in less then 5 minute the shop had all 4 off and repace with new locks (at their expense)
go to a local tire shop and ask them to knock them off maybe buy a 12pk of beverages

what is an oil sender socket?
Its an oddball socket shaped like an oil sending unit. You DONT need it for this. Find a socket that almost fits on the lugnut. HAMMER it on. Remove with impact if you have one, regular ratchet/breaker if you dont
