Did you try an easy out? You just have to drill a hole in the lock...they have left hand flutes and work well. You may have to use the larger ones, hopefully the lock is thick at the top...

Plus one with what Vixr says.

Also a "thin walled socket and a hammer" you're sacrificing the socket here ... but slam it on and then use an impact wrench to get it off.

Thank you all for the help and insight. I got a hold of a company that said they could handle this issue. Took it to them and guy had this off in 5 minutes. He used an air chisel and then used the lock key and a impact and it spun right off. No damage to wheel either. I got all new lug nuts that match with no locks.

It was $25 for the lock removal and $40 for new lugs.
Peace of mind and 100% right for $65. Cant beat it!

Here is that companies website
