Trying to put on new rims I got and was wondering, who the F*@#% do you pull off the rim? We undid all the nuts, even the little plate peice, and the rim isn't coming off. Any help please thanks.
 
try hitting your fist around the rim, enuf to jar it lose, or "kick it" as he said.hehe:p
 
Step 1...drink milk
step 2...
step 3...pull the rim off.

give 'em a shake, i guess. And put some anti seize on your stuff before you put them back on.

HOWEVER DO NOT i repeat DO NOT put anti-seize on your lug nuts/studs.....never

if you do....you will find your lug nuts keep getting lose...and if you forget, one of these days you will have a hard jolt...a loud bang....some scraping noise....and possibly either see one of your tires pass you...or see it go bouncing out across the grass on the side of the road.

And about that moment you'd have a pretty dumb look on your face and you'd say "Oh s***!"

The rims just need to be loosened up a bit...like suggested, just pound a bit around and shake it up a bit and that should free it up.
