If it's got the RRC locking nuts. The ones with the holes in the flange. as opposed to the discovery ones with the grooves on the side. Then hammer a 20mm socket (not a 6sided one) and they'll come off no problem at all. getting the socket off to do the next one is a bit of a pain though 
I've done this 3 times now when fitting me mudtyres before going laning. If it's got the grooves on then cut a 4mm drill bit down and locate it in a groove before hammering the socket on.

Laser make a locking wheelnut removal tool:
Laser Tools | 3748 | Alloy Wheel Nut & Locking Removal Kit 8p
However as others say, there are only a few types (they have a letter on them) and you can order them for a few £. My local independant keeps a bag of them for removing wheels..

With mine I just carefully got a angle grinder and cut a slit across them all then an old wheel nut and welded flat peice of metal to it. It was like a massive Flat headed screw driver! Was fiddly though!

u can get wheel nut removal tools (from Halfrauds, etc) - but £6 for a key is the best offer yu will get.
