Are you talking about the normal wheel bolts (which need a spline tool to remove) or coded anti theft bolts? (you mention "lug nuts" which doesn't make sense)

If coded - then andykeck's answer above is correct.

But I believe the coded bolts were discontinued a while back (my '06 never had them).
The standard wheels need a special spline tool (included in the toolkit in the boot/trunk or available from a dealer). It's the same for all Elises/Exiges so you could borrow one from any owner
