Don't know but I suggest going to major tire store. No 'socket' in glove box console or with spare tire?

^ no, i couldnt find the key. I went to change the brakes on my parents newly purchased e70 and ran into these. they look like OEM locks, but there are different variations that ive found online. might have to take it to the dealer and see if they have a key that fits.

They look like McGard or a copy of McGard. Since you don't know the make of the wheel lock can we assume that you didn't buy and install the wheel locks? Can we also assume that you don't have the special socket/tool to remove the wheel lock?

If you answer yes to the last question you can remove the wheel by following ETCG.

That sucks. It's like buying a used car and the manual isn't there.

Yes, these aren't OEM wheel locks.
The OEM look like this:
