If it is the 'star' shaped locking nut; Find a strong socket (you'll prob need 4 of the same size) which fits into locking nut and hammer the socket in untill it stops, now use the hammered in socket to undo the lock nut. Halfrauds / Srewfix (£20 ish) do a socket which bites into outside of the locknut with a reverse thread (I think they req an air ratchet to work).
Just remember to have 4 new nuts to replace the old ones b4 you start.
Failing that you'll end up having to either drill them out or split them with a cold chisel risking damage to your wheels and Some companies will want £200 for this. I'd phone a few tyre fitters and see if they will remove them (but have 4 nuts spare incase they wreck em) Other places will charge anything from £0-70 depending on their persuasion.

you can get a tool where you drill a hole into the item you want removing then screw this tool to it and slide the arm bak in it bags them off that might work think its called a slide hammer, or theres a tool for reversing thread nuts that should work as it turns the nut/bolt the opposite way there fore it should undo it! Both tools available from general diy stores
