McGard Spline Drive Lug Key broke

So I'm getting ready to swap to my stock tires for the road trip tomorow and my Lug key broke. Any tips on removing the lug nuts now that my keys ****ed...? I tried calling wheel dude but they dont have any replacement keys on stock. And I'd rather not take my rims on the road trip with a full car...

which one is broken? the socket/key for the keyed wheel lock lug nut, or the socket for the spline drive lug nuts?
If its the key for the wheel lock you'll probably need to order a new key from Mcgard.
If you just need the socket for the spline drive http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MC...0/?image=large
and you want to take a drive out to Dublin you can use my socket to remove the lug nuts and put different lug nuts on. I have air tools so it shouldn't take long at all
PM me if you want.

thanks for the offer but just took a rental for the trip. It was the actual key that broke so I'm ordering a new one now that I'm back in town.
