Old OZ Wheels - Center Cap Tool?

I just picked up a set of 15" OZ Wheels for the '87. I don't want to run the polished CLK wheels in the snow, but stock is for suckers, and these were an awesome deal. However, I can't get the center caps off. They have a single bolt that holds the lug nut cover on. I asked the guy I bought them from about the tool and he said Walmart took them off and he didn't know about the tool. They came on his '87 and he went back to stock wheels.

Does anyone know where I could find such a tool? I checked ebay, nothing.

I'm trying to upload a photo but my internet is failing.

Thanks for the reply.
Black T shaped handle with a small pin to unlock the center.
Here's what the wheel looks like.



Thank you!

Didn't see this bumped. Yes, I got the tool. I took it to Wheel Medic who is next door and he actually has a big bucket of random keys and found one marked 'OZ' in it. I'll take a pic when I am over at my garage this afternoon.
