You've demolished both the lugs and the wheel so you can probably write them both off and cut the wheel off.

Wow.
I'd probably remove the valve stem and use a cutting torch to blow off the studs. Doesn't look like that wheel is magnesium. Wheel is a gonner. You could sit there with a drill, but a torch would be quicker.
Just to make sure that it isn't magnesium, take some of those shaving and set them on fire brick. Then hit them with a torch. If they burn, don't use the torch.
You might also be able to touch a grinder on the wheel, which it looks like you have. If you see a shower of sparks come off the grinder, the wheel is magnesium. No flames near magnesium. No grinding either.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Any auto repair shop should be able to get that off. Call around.

Again a quick read: Hub with studs if broken off studs needs to be replaced. If wheel involved that too. No games with this crap - if that felll off while driving you risk others and yourself. Nuff said!
