yeah, we tried that, we got one wheel off welding a socket to the lug nuts, they are tight as all hell, i think they drove them up there with an impact gun and they havnt been off the car i dont think for like a year...

try welding a normal nut to the wheel lugnut. the nut gives you a nice place to weld (in the threads).

tried that and the damn lug nut just kept on breaking off by the weld tried welding a bolt into it and the bolt would just twist off, the lug nugs are extremely tight... only luck was welding a socket onto it, it's been a pain in the *** but i'm getting it slowly but surely, ran out of wire though and welding supply shops are all closed on the weekend so i cant get the rest off till monday i guess... oh well thanks for your help though guys
