That was one of the things I was thinking of but looking at the pictures of his wheels it would be tough getting the center cap off. Plus the calipers are pretty close.

Don't understand getting the difficulty in removing the cap?

I must say I'm pretty impressed with the effectivenes of the wheel locks though.

can you get in the back of the disc and grind / cut the end of the stud away

Or remove the axle and drill out the stud from the back.

Again, I'd drill them from the front. You only have to go the depth of the nuts, and your golden. Use a high quality bit. Unless these are ARP studs, this should go quickly.
