I had locking lug nuts on my mustang. I took a chisel and a hammer and busted them off. You HAVE to be careful not to mess the threads up though!

take it to a tire shop, they see this all the time and have a special socket to remove them. shouldn't be more than 10 bucks, well worth not screwing your studs up.

when i worked at the body shop we have a lexus come in with those annoying locking lug nuts and the ower didnt even know he had them on there... so i bought a socket kit from snap-on and they worked great... or if u got a welder u can weld a regular lug nut to the locking lug nut and spin it off that works great too and its cheaper the buying a locking lug nut socket set if you or a friend has got a welder handy.... this i found out after i bought the socket set haha
