Drill it out or find a socket that's a little bit too small and hammer the fucker on.

LOL! My brother had to cut the wheels off an MGF once! He tried using everything, had his boss's trying everything, ended up having to order a new wheel, took an angle grinded to the old one.

So he mounted the new one one top of the centre remains of the other one?

Obviously not! I can't rememeber how it was done, i just rememeber going down there after school (so was 3 years ago) and the was a chopped up wheel!
