Rent a nut cracker. Its kind of like a bolt cutter for nuts.

Then again it will only work if your lug nuts are out in the open where you can get to them.

If you can get to it you can rent a blow torch and cut it.

From what spence has told me at this point I would assume the only remaining options are drilling out the stud from the center of the nut or taking a torch to either the nut side or the hub side of the stud.

Anyone else have any additional options in mind?

Yeah its a 12mm allen bolt inside the lug, I took a Allen Key and the inside of the nut was so stripped out that it wouldnt work, and even a 13MM wouldnt work, so I took a brand new drill bit for steel and drilled out the lug, but when I hit the Stud it wouldnt go any further, and I am out of oxygen in the damn torch

But I think Drilling it out is the best way, least likley to hurt the wheel.
