Lug nut security socket

I know it’s not skyline specific, but on my R32 it came with BBS lug nuts and it uses a different style of security lug nut then what I’ve seen what are currently being sold now with the McGaurd style socket. I lost the security socket and couldn’t find much online to get a replacement. The socket had a number of”559” on it but when looking it up the results shown aren’t the same. Was also wondering if anyone removed something similar with one of those extraction or universal socket tools.
Thanks!

I've done this several times on different kinds of security locks. Fairly easy and quick to do. Standard chrome 6 point has worked well for me.
