Need some help

long story short i was changing my suspension and when i got to the back passenger side i snapped 2 lug nuts. Not the studs but actual nuts they are wheeltek or something similar. I have used an extractor but they just seem to shred the aluminum. i am getting ready to swap to winter wheels and i want to seap the last strut and to rotors and pads too. i just need some advice on how to get lug nuts off or what is left of them off, thanks in advance

How about a picture

A lot of OP's posting up details when a pic speaks volumes

i can try to get one later on they are rota wheels and i actually broke each nut twice so there is a small amount of nut holding the wheel tight on 2 studs, the piece that is left secure and holding the wheel off i just need to find a way to get the small portions left on off ha. i am thining a small chisel to split the nut fragments or try the extractor more it is quite irritating and espically if i get a flat on taht tire i am pretty screwed.
