I pick up my tires tomorrow, but these are the wheels that my car will see for winter:

I also plan on making a custom extension for the injen turning it into a sri for winter, it gets really wet here.

Just get a rubber mallet and hit the inside of the rim on the bottom and top, they'll seperate.

After you get them off, either WD-40 the snot out of the inside part of the hub that seats on the rim, or anti-seize compound works even better.

The aluminim rim sits on that hub thingy that is iron. It rusts and becomes tight.

A rubber mallet and some patience all all that's needed.
