I have TSW Blade 15x7 ET 35 Alloy Wheels which have a centre plate, held in position by a 75mm hex nut. Unfortunately my rear wheels cannot be removed as each 75mm nut has seized on tightly; I do have a special TSW hand spanner, but that is too flimsy and short to get any leverage etc. I have looked online at getting a 75mm socket and a long bar but they all use 1" drivers and the prices made my eyes water! £60 for the socket minimum and £500 for the long bar! 
So the question is, can anyone suggest what sort of places I can go to get the nuts loose, so I can grease them to prevent it happening again? I went to a local truck and lorry service & mot place the other day, but the largest socket they had was about 65mm. I think they even had a double decker bus and the centre nuts were smaller than mine too. Surely there must be places with air tools and a range of sockets? Perhaps a TSW specialist place?
I've had brake disc and pad problems recently too, and I could only reach through the alloy spokes with wet and dry paper, to scrub my discs but to do it properly I need the wheels off. The pads are rubbing against the discs while driving, so the pad material is all over the disc surface and grooves and dimples.
If anyone can help with suggestions or even offer to use their own socket and bar, I would be very grateful!
