Well after alot of checking on the internet and visiting fastener companies for this particular security lug-nut - no success. However, good news! Discount Tires got all for off the car for $20 hamering on a socket and carefully using their air tool to drive the lug out. impressive! Why didnt I got to them in the first place? DA!

Sears has a set of removers which have reverse teeth designed to bit into the
head of a bolt/nut when they're too rounded off to grip normally. But I think
one would have needed more clearance that that pictured on the MB rim
design. Great to have in your tool box. Glad you were successful though.
