First off, spray a little PB Blaster on there 2-3 times a day for a week. You want to make sure that the nut is not frozen to the wheel. The PB Blaster will also work it's way on to the threads a bit.
Sears sells some nut removal tools that may work well. The problem is that the stock lug nuts are just plain nuts with a sheet metal chrome cover. Find a 12 point socket that's just a little bit smaller than the rounded nut. A metric may work well. Then pound it on with a hammer. Then use a hand impact wrench rather than a large breaker bar. The impact often loosens things up better than steady pressure.
