Okay first of all I know this is a stupid question, but I can not get the wheel off of my wife's Scion xA. I have taken them off of my xB without any problems. The car is raised, and all lug nuts are removed, but the wheel will not come of. Is there some sort of trick to getting these specialty rims off? Is the rim rusted? I have enclosed a picture of the wheel.

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind it was just really rusted on...

That's why you need a rubber mallet! A couple of smacks on the tire and it comes right off, no damage!

At least you know you could loose a lug nut or two and still be okay ;)

happen to me before. my neighbor sat down and kicked the wheel off for me

It happens to me every spring when I take off the factory steel wheels for the winter, and put on my nice summer rims. I use a rubber hammer, but in the fall when I put the steels back on, i put a little antiseize on the inside of the wheels.
