Just kick them not real hard but with a little force. Kick down at the bottom
edge of the rim a couple of times see if that helps.

Also if you've painted the hubs and brake shoes they paint on the hubs will casue them to stick the first time. But he's right just kick them a little and they will come off.

Use a mallet on the tires. Mine had the same problem... still does sometimes. I had a problem with them BEFORE I painted my calipers. Must just come tight as hell from factory I guess. They will come off though. I still have a problem every so often getting them off. You just gotta use ALOT of elbow grease. Kicking also helps if you dont have a mallet. lol

I was rotating the tires on my wife's car and her wheels were being a pain in the ass. I had to sit on the ground and kick either side of the tire, hard and rapidly, for a while... I must have looked like a spaz. Worked though even though it didn't look like it was to begin with.

lol We did that too. Took two of us to get the damn things off. I was like WTF... do they SUPERGLUE these wheels on or WHAT???? I figure that I dont need the wheel locks because whoever wants to steal them will have a HELLUVA time getting the damn things off. I'll hear them before they even get finished with the FIRST one.

I'm glad you got them off. About the mallet deal. You might ought to say a rubber mallet. Some people aren't as smart as they should be.

Youre just mad because you probably don't own a rubber mallet.

Well thanks guys i was getting pissed ive never had tires take so much pressure to get off . My neighbor came over and was like what are you doing I said i cnat get the tires off. He goes are all the lugnuts off i said yea . So he gave it a try and no luck. So he left and i was lioke there coming off because i had my car all jacked up so i kick the shit out of them and it finally came off , but dam man wtf is up with that . I could have drove with no lugnuts and that is the truth they were on there that bad. Over 1 hour of kicking the shit out of them I though i was going to knock the car of the jack stands ., Great story hahahahhahahahahahhahahhaa (dunno)

they use different types of metals that corrode together nicely....VW's are worse.

rims tend to get stuck on the hubs. Just kick the bottom tire and then kick the top to nug it loose. OR you can use a mallet...the thing is to nug it loose.
