Default Problems with rusty locking wheel nut!!! HELP!! :(

Hi all,

I purchased some gold 17 inch standard Subaru wheels today for my 02 Bugeye.

I managed to get three on (all with sticky locking wheel nuts!), but the fourth wheel is proving more difficult to remove. I am unsure as to whether it is my rather crap looking toothless locking nut socket (standard scooby item again!), or whether it is the stubborn rusty (and slightly cross-threaded) locking nut!!

I really do need to get this last wheel on, so I was wondering if anyone lives local to Southend and can help me out with a decent socket?!

Failing that, if anyone can give me a tip to get this nasty nut off, I would be greatly appreciative!!
