Take it to your local tyre fitters mate. They'll either have one to fit it or will hit it with the airgun with a rubber socket thing they use.
Failing that a good set of stilsens will get it off......be careful though, one slip and damaged wheel  (stockies)If the wheels have recessed nuts....then I have nutthin

i usually just find a socket that just starts to go over the nut the get a hammer and tap it on and undo with a breaker bar.

weld a nut on there if ALL else fails, this really is last resort stuff.

moderately tighten the others first, THEN attempt to remove the locknut.
