A quick search would have revealed this, but in order of effectiveness:
*Go to any decent auto parts store and buy a wheel lock removal kit
* or see if you can buy a new key from Ford if you remembered to copy the lock #
* or just hammer a tightly-fitting socket on top of each lock and crank away.

If it was the factory lock the Ford dealer should have it. They only used 5 of each style and the dealers usually have a complete set of them.

The tightly fitting socket might work as for the other 2, i live in england and they dont got crap in car stores and also the ford dealers here dont know what a turbo coupe is.
