It looks like wheel locks. You can find a adapter that will fit. Try finding the brand of the nut.

I don't think that's a lock it looks more like a spline drive lug. It also looks like these are not the correct lugs for the vehicle because there is not enough engagement into the lug, there is only a few threads making contact.

Spot on Zig... those are Gorilla brand lug nuts...

and you have GOT to be running too much of a spacer - that is not safe whatsoever, I'm surprised the wheels are still on the car... either remove the spacer or replace the wheel studs with ones 10-15 mm longer...
