Default broke lug nuts

simple task of taking a wheel off gas turned into a nightmare. The lugnut with the lock on it broke when taking off. All the lug nuts were ridiculously tight and it broke off. Worse, it happened on both sides (i heated the second side with a blowtorch first and it still broke).

i cut the stud off as close to the rim as possible and ground down about as much of the lug nut as i can (butchered the wheel in the process). Is there any method of getting the wheel off?

Totally stuck
