I wouldn't be game.. Would be easy to damage the wheels I reckon! Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Find chisel and split the wheel nuts off by splitting them down the centre

Really they split down the center by hitting them on the end? I thought they would just chip off.
We could try jarad if you are game. My chisels at work are super sharp
Done it heaps on customers cars and I know other people who still do it.
Only ones I have seen which could not be 'broken' where the Gorilla Lock Nuts which is what I have

I had to do it last year on my MY11 STi, garage got flooded and my locknuts got washed off the workbench.
Trying not to damage RZ-DF's... steadiest my hands have ever been!
