I have/had two of the wheel cap wrenches for the 19" Axis wheels on the Getta. Well... Aparently I He-Man'd them on the car last time, cus I broke BOTH wrenches this morning trying to just two of the damn caps off.
Any good tools or suggestions on what I could use to get the damn wheels off with?
I'll go take some pics of the wheel cap and wrench.

I don't have any wrench situations large enough to grasp the caps with a towel around them or anything. My hand strength around the wrench isn't enough to turn it.

Large Pipe wrench should be able to grasp around that.

get a red rag, and some big channel locks, put the red rag on the nut to help prevent scratching it and go to town with the channel locks
