take it to a tire/wheel shop, they can get em off, but the wheel locks wont survive. I lost the key for my old car and I got a flat tire, I took it to Discount Tire and they drilling into the wheel locks and got them off and put on normal lugs

I don't like the "pound a socket on it" method so much but it works ok.
I bought a car recently that came with wheel locks and no keys. My solution was to weld a normal lug nut to the end of the locking lug. Much easier on the studs.
