Angry Help

Ok. So the other day I go out to my car and find that I my tire is low, no big deal. I fill it up with air only to come out the next day and find out its still leaking air. Come to find out I have a nail in my tire. Anyways it is a problem but not the actual problem. I can not get my wheel off because the locking lug nut which is open ended is rusted to the stud. I will probally need some help trying to get the damn wheel off to get it fixed. These lug nuts are peices of shit and something similar to this has happened before. They are tuner lugs that came with my ICW rims and they are full of problems. Does anybody know of a good reliable brand of locking tuner lugs, I would love to use regular lugs but they will not fit. I am going to replace all of them so I do not have to deal with this shit again. Thanks for any help and sorry for the long post.

Did try shaking your fist at it? Or kicking it? It doesn't fix the problem but you'll feel better.

There is not much I can do as the lug nut is rusted to the stud and there is probally 2 cm of the lug outside the actual hole. If i stick the key inside the the lug it will just turn. Any more ideas on how to get it off?

The inside of it is rusted and worn out. We tried it a few times today but did not want to fuck up the stud/lugnut. Wish we could have tried other routes but the manager did not want to try them
