put a pipe on the end of the wrench (steem pipe or thick walled pipe)

tried both of those, and i'm 18 stone, so if it's not moving with my weight on it, i have no idea if they'll move at all

are you turning them the right way? lol
if you turning the right way try hiting the studs with a bar and a lump hammer some times works if not get a biger bar or get you and a friend to jump
on the bar.
if all else fails drill the studs out

yeap, id heat them, and also whack the wheel for good measure. and obviously make sure its anti clockwise!
easy way to heat fast is to weld something small on the end, probably more effective then a blow torch. make sire you dont obscure the nut.
