Looks like a spline drive lug nut (7 spline). Should be able to order a key from your local tire dealer

I didn't think spline drive were universal, I thought they were brand specific, none the less a tire dealer is still your best bet at IDing which brand and key you need. If all else fails have the tire shop remove them (although this will damage them) and replace them with a set that comes with a key.

Their called gorilla nuts. Lol seriously though Goto an aftermarket rim shop and ask them to check their keys they should be able to order you a new key.

Locking lug nuts aren't universal, spline drive are. It looks like the only reason whoever used those lug nuts on those wheels, is because of space restraints. Spline keys are very thin as opposed to an impact socket
