Try a tyre fitters, they know how and should be cheaper.

When removed, buy a new set and remember where you put the key  :y

Before anything drastic, check it is not still on the end of the supplied spanner, or in the black bag, or in the bottom of either the first aid compartment or tool area.  Dash cubbies are also favourites-often in a 35mm film container or the like.

Think-where would you hide it?  Look there...
Call the previous owner-it may be in his tool kit.

Happy hunting  :y

Might be worth getting in touch with the European branch of McGard in Germany.  I believe with a photograph of the wheel nut/bolt, proof of identity and ownership they can provide replacement keys for some vehicles.
