Alloy key

I am in search of a 'key' to remove the wheel nut cover plate from my alloys.
The cover plate has a 'WSL' logo and has a security bolt holding it on.
The bolt looks like a Torx head with a centre pip. A T55 Torx driver comes close but doesent have the hollow centre.

Any ideas?

look on ebay ?

these are available pretty cheap
at decent tool shops, similar tools
are used on anti-vandal fittings
on public buildings, etc.

you need a "tamper proof torx bit" try machine mart and halfords but you might have to buy a set with a few in hope this helps

I've sorted this now.
The origional key was plastic and had been well rounded.
I managed to get one bolt out, heated it up and forced it onto the key. cutting new ridges.

I'd still like a metal version if possible but I've not seen any security torx bigger than T50.
