Get a 12 point socket that just starts to go on the outer edge. Beat it on w/ a hammer and then use an impact to run it off.

i've had a couple run ins with these things you just have to get a socket (preferably an old one that you have more than one of) that is a little smaller than the lug bang it on with a hammer and then just use a breaker bar to take it off
ps use a block of wood in between so you dont hit your rim
