They are called tuner lugs. It's pretty common aftermarket wheels use them. I don't know if you have a Les Schwab in Ohio, but many local tire/wheel places should have them on hand.

You have to use some sort of tuner lug. Most aftermarket wheels that are universal design, only use tuner lugs... so you'll have to get some. Regular lug nuts do not work. If you're having problems removing them and do not have a key... best whats to remove them would be to weld on a bolt and impact them out. Unless you can get a key... you're pretty much stuck to that.
