Tool for un-doing nuts on wheel?

Bonjour,

Need to take my alloys off to change the callipers and pads, but I can't get the wheel off; the knuts have been tightened up to the - well, knuts! Problem being, the actual knuts are recessed in the wheel, so the tool I use can't be much wider than the ****. Some sort of power tool has obviously been used to take it off, as I can't create enough leverage to get it off!

Pic of the alloy in question:

I'd like to get it off by tomorrow evening, so can anyone recommend a tool that I can pop in to a shop and buy?

Ta!

Amusingly enough, I don't have a massive bar to put on the end of it! And it's just a cheap Halfords socket set, so I'd probably end up bending the tool

Don't really have the tools to sand down the wheel brace, nor do I think there's enough material on the wheel brace to sand down... We're a mechanically retarded family, which I'm trying to change

Worth a try actually

Perhaps a breaker bar is what I should have a look for then! Cheers.
