Lost key for OZProdrive wheellocks
I lost my key for the rims on my 03 subaru. They are OZ Prodrive rims that came with the car from the dealer. Where can I get a new key for the rims?

You can go to Autozone to buy a kit that is made to take off wheel locks without a key. The kit is about 30 bucks, and basically it is a reverse thread running on the inside and when you put it on the wheel lock it threads its self on (reverse threads) then when it bottoms out just keep turning and the lug comes off.
Option 2: Find a socket that is as close to fitting as you can get it, then get a five pound sledge and beat the socket onto the lug, then remove.
Either way you are going to have to replace the four lugs.

You can also drill straight thru the end of the key, continue drilling completely thru the lug, then twist the whole thing off. There's no pretty way to do this job, but there are many methods.

If you're unable to find a key or some other pretty way of getting them off, an air chisel should work well. Put the tip of the chisel on the corner of the lug and form a dent, then lean the tool over and drive the lug off.
