So I'm thinking of painting (stock) my rims black but when I tried to take off the rear one it wouldn't come off as easy as the front...is there anything besides to 5 bolts keeping the rear tires on? or could it just be that they haven't been taken off in a while they're a little stuck??

Thanks in advance

ps I'm thinking of using Dupli-Color :: Wheel Coating for the paint anyone ever use it before? good/bad stories or opinions?

 

I've seen some great results here with the dupli-color, but I'm kinda at a loss as to why your rear wheel won't come off? Your car is totally off the ground and it has all 5 lugs off? That's new to me.

 

Spray some PB Blaster or WD40 in places it won't come off. Just the lugnuts hold the rim on. Pull harder

 

Yeah it was weird, I just wanted to make sure nothing was holding it on from behind the center caps...guess I'll have to put some muscle in it next time lol

 

Sometimes rims are a PITA to get off, just take off the lugnuts, give it a yank and you should be good

 

Give em a kick.

 

You must respect the almighty monte..

 

Get a small sledgehammer and give the tire a couple blows :p
Happened to me once, it was rust holding The wheel back where it comes in contact with the rotor

 

Take off the lugs, ride around the block and that'll loosen things up for you...







Uh. Sorry! lol

 

Its rusted enough the wheel wont come off. Poor thing probably wouldnt mind a good kick.
