grab a big chisel and heavy hammer and smash it right down the middle, should crack, then you keep chipping away and removing...

thats what they did at the tyre shop for me back in the day

could always grab a gator grip socket (http://www.endeavorproducts.com/) and give it a go yourself

Those lock nuts look pretty common. Just take it to a tyre shop, they'll have a key to get it off for you.

I removed mine a while ago using a 18mm socket and a breaker bar.
