locking wheel nut removal
MOT time is looming and i need to get my wheel off to do some work on the 106.
I went to take off my locking nut and the key snapped. bugger! 
The wheels on the car are Speedline Chrono's and the locking nut looks like this
The wheel nut removers from halfrauds and the like are too big to fit over the top of the nut as it's sat within a deep recess in the wheel.
What I wanted to know was, is there any tools or techniques out there that can help me get these off without knackering the wheel?

yup there is away of drilling them out but as its the key that snapped you would have to do all 4 and unless you know some one that can do it dont think it will be cheap

theres a guy in chesterfield that removes em for about £20 for all 4......
either drill and reverse threads or welds a nut into them.....
TJ autos on whitting valley road.......
I'm struggling to get the car anywhere really, it's not taxed or tested
It'd just be my luck I'd take it and get caught by the cops or have an accident.
