Guys please help, I'm getting so frustrated!

My girlfriend's Mercedes ML has a flat tyre, but I can't get the wheel off because I don't recognise the style of wheel nuts? I saw somewhere they might be called 0009905407 or maybe even 29196? But I don't have the tool to remove them, it didn't come with the car! Can anyone point me in the right direction? So I can pop the spare tyre on, then get the tyre changed?

I'm in the UK, if that helps?

Word of warning though if you've already fked them trying to put a normal socket on, a multi spline 17mm socket rather than a normal 6 sided one will normally work on them if they've been chewed up a bit.

Are you absolutely sure the tool isn't in the car?

In my time in the motor trade I often had to search the vehicle forensically to find the locking wheel-nut tool, a very frustrating waste of time.

There were very few occasions when the tool was not in the car, somewhere.
