Looks spot on , is the pin at 10 o clock the longest ?

Do alloys get pinched anymore, son had a blow out and couldn't find his key ended up trailering it to the seat dealers as the tyre company couldn't do anything. The dealer brought out two boxes of keys and it was the last one that fitted, so slacked them all off and put in a normal set of bolts.

The pins are all the same length, but they’re not symmetrical!

Doubt it, it'll be quicker and easier just to take the whole car nowadays.

Some vehicles have a number on the other end of the thread, if you can get one out you might be able to get a replacement tool.
Failing that machine mart or motor factors do locking wheel nut removal tools

Not hard to bypass, usually sledge on a good quality black six sided socket that's too small and wind it out with that.

That isn't an option , it's a poxy system .

A small shed full but I can't find alloys to fit 18.4 38.

Irwin bolt grips should get them out. Local garage would probably loosen them for a drink

Which I've seen them doing at local tyre shop. Evidently a regular job with a local garage sending vehicles for wheel lock removal once over. Why garage couldn't do this themselves as all you need is a hammer and impact socket.

Don't think they would grip , there's 4 holes the key slots in to , the edge is round
