   it depends what type it is to how you can get it off
   techniqure range from specialist tools to simply hammering a socket onto it
   
   but cant say without knowing the style

   Unless you have the make and key code it will be difficult
   any dcent garage or tyre place can get them off but you would new bolts

   If it came with the car try Citroen, they keep sets of locking keys for Citroen supplied alloys.
   
   If they are proud enough you may be able to get a stilson wrench on to undo them (see below for outer ring).
   Failing that look at the bolt head, if it has a rotating ring around the key it has to be removed. Small sharp chisel and hammer.
   You can then try smashing a socket over it, but if the ooutside of the key is round as well you have a problem as they will have to be drilled out.
