Could weld a nut onto the end of one and undo it that way

Ram a socket on it, use a special removing tool or weld another nut on. Its really not hard to get them out. Done it many a time now

depends how good the locking wheel nuts are. after all if you could remove them in 5 mins they would be total crap . if thier the new type standard vauxhall ones then thier an absolute pig, we charge an hours labour at my garage to get them off. because they have a strong outer casing that just spins if you bash a socket on them you cant remove them like that. if you have ones without the ring around the edge of the locking nut then you can bash a socket on or buy the correct socket with an internal reverse thread and bash that on, then just undo the bolt, although it may be hard without an air gun. also if you have a flimsy ring around the locking nut then just hammer and chisel it off. sorry about the essay. hope it helps.

yup, hammer sockets on, but be careful not to hammer it on too far if your doing more than one 
i hammered mine on TIGHT... and couldnt get it out to do the others... so ended up having to buy more sockets to get them all off.
just a tip lol.
