Finally got them off

It took about two hours, a sledge hammer and 3 sockets (now destroyed), but I was able to get them off by driving a socket over them and wrenching them off...not fun, but it worked.

I found that using a cheap (softer metal) deepsocket (3/4) worked the best. Driving it over the wheel lock allowed the soft metal to expand over the lock. It sure messed up the sockets, but worked. Thankds for all the imput....
 
Glad the method worked :)

My neighbor was furious at first, when I did this w/ his C5 :L
Thrilled once done...
