So far,

Plan A. Buy the regular bolts from the dealer and ask them to take out the old keyed. (Told that my setup was an after market. Yes, I have the new bolts now.)

Plan B. Bought a 21mm deep-well socket (12 points), today and tried to hammer to fit 'around' the 'keys'. (Well, I am not a Thor. Thought about blow torching the socket until it would get red and hot THEN hammer. This may be Plan Z.)

Plan C. Call the parts department and speak with the "young man" who may be too young to remember what an old wheel looks like.

Plan D. Go the the tire installer next to the dealer.

Your 19mm and 18mm will be my Plan E and Plan F, respectively.
