Similar to the above pictured but they were full barrel style......no flair to the end of it.
Are those like the Honda OEM ones?

Actually I don't think that those are the ones I bought........they didn't come DIRECTLY from Honda they are VERY similar though. Guess it's HAMMER TIME! 
I have the old one we used to hammer on before. I am going to wrap it in black tape and break out the sledge tonight.
Thanks for your help guys.

ALL FIXED!!! A trip to the parents garage and its all done.
Short list.
1 destroyed crappy 12 point socket(older than dirt replaced with new Craftsman one)
1 Cracked vertically and destroyed GATOR GRIP(that didn't work)
Purchased 3, 12 point Craftsman sockets 1 to replace the one I killed and 2 extra one for each lock still on the car. All in all it only needed one because the Craftsman steel was harder than the wheel lock.........GO FIGURE! The old socket got all the metal sheered off to the base inside.
New wheel locks are on the car already so no stealing my rims. Not like anybody would want them.
Oh and on a side note.........I REPLACED MY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. HOLY COW EASY!!! 2 bolts 1 allen socket and just moving the air box a little to get access with the needle nose pliers is all that's needed.
Car only has the clutch rattle now no more timing chain rattle..........IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD!
