Looks like quick release axles, so just unhook the brakes, open the lever and pop the wheel out.- - - - - - - - - -

if you zoom in and then zoom again... you can see the bike does NOT have the black metal around the silver, whereas mine does!0 -

Sure these aren't safety washers that stop the wheel falling out if the skewers are not tight? Safety washers are like the usual variety but with a lip which catches in a groove in the fork. You have to unscrew the lever right out to its limit to drop the wheel out.0

Pics are at the top
They dont move though... they just will not spin, and the nut wont turn either

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i believe they are, and the one end has something which can be undone with an allen key!0
-
Well . . . sorted then. Use an Allen key to free the nuts and grease the threads when you tighten them up.0
-
And then go and buy some quick release skewers, a spare inner tube, tire levers and a pump so that you can fix a puncture on the side of the road so that you can finish your journey.

What size Rapid release skewers do i need??0
-
Standard. 100mm front, 135mm back. These are basically rods with a plastic covered metal nut on one side and a lever operated cam on the other. The rod can protrude at the open end, allowing up to 10mm of give.0

ok cool, so if it doesnt say the size... then it will be jsut the standard size...
