Tyre dealers often have the kit to remove them. I would then replace the locking nuts with standard ones.

I have found volvo locking nuts keys to not be the best of quality and need to be 180 degrees to the nut/bolt or will be damaged, often to the point of uselessness. Easy if you carry a rattle gun to remove the wheels, different matter if using a wheel brace or breaker bar as is often needed to get the nuts off.

In 50 years of motoring I have never had a wheel stolen. Volvo wheels the age of mine degraded to the point of scabbyness within 2 years of new anyway so no self respecting theaf would want them

your volvo dealer can obtain the master set from their Headquarters
( at no extra cost to them if they decide to charge you ! )
That will enable them to determine the key and order one for you .
Generally they will not use the master key to undo the nut to prevent wear to the kit .
