well if you tried everything, there wouldnt be any wheel left. i presume that means you didnt try fire/sledgehammer/sawzall.

so what did you try

Why cant you get the nut off? Does a socket go on, are they too tight, are they rounded, are they a keyed nut that you dont have the key for, are there aliens living inside of the wheel that shoot lasers at you when you approach, etc..? People need more information of exactly what is wrong before they can help.

As soon as you get those wheels off, burn them.

Without the key, nothing much. Try Amazon and see if you can't find a similar key. Or you could destroy the lug nuts themselves, but that might **** up the threads if you're not careful. Maybe a chisel and hammer?
