Wheel lug nut broken.. any suggestion, picture included

Today i was trying to open my lug nuts branded "K-Speed" of the rims. It was too hard to be opened, however.. i applied the WD-40.. i tried again with the axe.. and guess what .. the lug nuts were broken and the remaining pieces are still stuck in between the holes. Any idea how do i fix it back... ?
:bawling:

Please suggest me the suitable shops to take too.. and any similar cases that u guys have gone through..

If possible give me the location of the shop u did.. i would be glad to compare and find cheapest price for this solution.

Your help is mostly appreciated. :help:

Thanks :driver:

Take a drive down to a welding shop and ask them to weld it back into place and then you can open it back again.

But make sure you try to open before you leave the welding shop.

It's based on experience that's why i am telling.

Cheers!!!
 
last time i sent my car for balancing..my lug nut broke when he was trying to open it...in the end, the tire shop then started hammering the nut with a screw driver and started digging all over the place...it was a messy and rough job..my word of advise...send to some1 experienced ...if not better do the welding one..
 
my lesson: don't buy k-speed lug nuts...hehehe

n last time a mech said to me that the tire shops shud use only a certain level of tightness when bolting on the rims, shudnt be too tight, otherwise might end up like this...
 
tis wat i do last time, send to c&c shop after open the wheel hub,the whole wheel hub! then they will drill from behind so that the screw will come out. and replace with new screw.no messy job.
cheers! just my 2 cents
