Default Lug nuts

I am having trouble taking off this lug nut, it just spins around and around its like 90% off and it wiggles but it just doesn't come off!!!&&@$"%#^
I tried pulling on it with plyers, I sprayed WD40 my fourway lug wrench spins around and around I tried banging it off but nothing. Has anyone had this problem with these stupid crappy capped lug nuts?

Is it just the cap that is spinning?
If so you could try chiseling the cap off, there are a few threads here and in the S section with the same problem.
You should think about new solid nuts once you get it off.

I looked and from what I can see it looks like it is spinning as well as the lug but itself. Maybe I'll try to chisel it off an see what happens.

Well I took it to the shop today and they found that the post had broken free of the rivets that were holding the post in place so it was just spinning and spjnnjng. So they welded the back (inside) of the post that kept on moving and that solved the problem so if anyone runs into this problem just have them or of you have a welding torch just weld the back to the hub and it should be fine.
