you will have to A) take it to a tire shop and have them burn it off or B) take a socket smaller or about the same size and hammer it on each one of the lugs and take an impact gun take it off that way you will need for sockets for this way

a tire shop may charge about 20 dollars to do it but it may be ceaper than buying your own sockets
