HELP!!! Misplaced key...

So today I was bored and decided I was due for a tire rotation, but when I looke din my ashtray my key to my wheels were gone. Does anyone know of a way to take off the lug nut without a key? Or if there is a universal tool for the lug nuts? I dont care about destroying the bolt, because I have a set of JDM nuts im goin to put on. Any heklp would be greatly appreciated...thanx in advanced.

Snap-On makes a lock/lug nut removal tool kit.

A shop can take it off for you. I had mine removed by NTB (national tire and battery) when I lost my key

I've had to have a set air-chiselled off and they made me sign an agreement stating that if they broke a wheel they were not responsible. My brother in law lost his key also, but the mechanic was able to hammer a tight socket over the lock and got them off without chiselling...
