Its unlikley you will find anyone with the same locking tool.. Your best bet would be to buy some new ones & go to GB tyres (near tescos) who will be able to remove your old ones :D

Can't see any pics of yours in the gallery...

As said many locking wheel nuts are different, but hopefully you'll find one :

Closest I can see to a "flower" is this one :

McGard's are a similar shape too, I've got one you're welcome to try, but even the same companies have many variations.

I had this problem a while back, luckily my bolts were easier to crack and managed to get them off with an Irwin bolt gripper.

Have a read of this for the advice I got
