You have a bolt extractor? Or you can a drill bit slightly larger than the threaded area on the bolt and drill straight through the head of the bolt. When it tapers down you should be able to rip the larger head off. You do risk damage to the wheel. Im surprised the reverse thread extractor didnt work. Are you using a large breaker bar?
