 VW Lug Bolt Broken

OK, I know alot of you have experience in this area, and I need some input...I broke an aftermarket lug bolt putting on my "summer" tires and wheels on my Jetta TDI...There is nothing left to grab, yet the "flare" on the bolt is still holding the wheel on. I want to remove this bolt in case of a flat, or when I finally get around to the rear brake job that I need. Someone suggested having someone weld something on it so it could be turned, but I think it would be difficult to get that far in the "hole of the wheel" to weld something...any suggestions?

Thanks for all the input...I knew you guys would come through...a friend of mine told me last night he lent his left handed drill bits to someone, and he thinks he can get the bolt out easily, once he gets his drill bits back! As a sidenote...a local tire dealer (NTB) wanted $200 to get the wheel off...uh, no thanks!!

Just so all of you can see what these lug bolts look like, search a large internet auction site for "VW tuner lug", take a look at a pic.

Once again, thanks for the help...AV8R, I was looking at your profile, I LOVE the #1 pic!!! (B*%$#H) I also broke the fuel door on my TDI...another VW nuisance, but I would buy another in a heartbeat!

Peters, I get 45-50 MPG, if I can keep my foot out of it (it's difficult to keep my TFI under 65MPH!) The MPG has dropped this winter to around 40, with snow tires all around. Still not too bad, although I am paying premium gas prices for road diesel.
