A cop told me that if you want to get those wheel locks off, do what the theives do. Match a metal pole over the lug, and then yank up on the pole. you'll break the.... bolt off. Time for a new hub, but I solved your first problem.
I also remembered, my mechanic has a tool that can get them off. It's like a..... oil filter remover (?). It wraps around the locking nut, tightens, and you can get it off. He quoted me 60 bucks to get tham all off b/c it takes time.

Think about it,if yoru lug nuts are recessed in yoru rim,,how the hell are you going to get a oil filter remover type tool to get the lug nut out?
They make a wheel lock remover kit,its like a bunch of sockets,that dont have threads its moth inside and taper down,knock it on with a hammer and then put an air gun on it and remove it,
I use sockets,try to get a nice tight fit..hit it with a hammer and off they go with a wratchet or air gun..
I took Monkeys(Nick) off in..10 mins?
man screw that drill that mother f**ker. goto lowe's or home depot and buy some drill bits for heavy metal. then if anything grab that bi-otch with some vise grips and hold it in place while someone else drills into it. you might want to start small in drill bit sizes but sometimes it dosent matter.
He didnt say what style wheel he has,
BUT how the hell are you going to use visegrips on a wheel with the lug nut set IN the wheel?
Have you actually done this?
The socket trick is the easiest and by far the fastest not top mention the cheapest posted so far.
