Unhappy Locking Nut - Volvo 440

Good afternoon,

This is my first post so I hope it's not too daft a question to start.

I recently bought a Volvo 440 (1996), having previously owned one and fallen in love with it.

I was about to change the front tyre on my current car and, upon looking for the locking nut, I have seen it hasn't been included. I know... an obvious thing to check and a foolish move on my part.

Is there any way at all of getting a key that fits original alloys for a 1996 440? Or do I have to go down the line of a garage with a chisel?

Thank you for your help.

If there the mcguard type you can take a photo of the internal pattern of the nut and email to mcguard in Germany who will send a free key
