17 in stentor alloys

Hi,
Locking wheelnuts sheared off front and rear wheels when attempting removal for new pads to be fitted - so alloys have to be cut off !!
Therefore desperately in need of two relacement 7x17in Stentors such a pity - the existing ones are pristine !!

Don't cut off the wheels! Call the RAC and they can cut the locking tools off, or if you have access to a welder, weld a nut on top of the locking nut and it can be undone.
Carving the wheels off are the last resort.

This has already been attempted by garage without success - hence search for wheels- Thanks for the helpful suggestion anyhow.
Regards,
Mike.
