use the big metal tool to loosen it, and use the triangle thing with the squigly bar thing to lift it (put the hook part of the squigly bar into the circle thing on the triangle thing and turn it clockwise, that's righty tighty lefty loosey, so 12 - 3 angle, and keep turning), and then remove the little silver things that's the 5 lugs on the wheel, and take the wheel off the car. put your car on jackstandstoo.. that's a pyramid thing that you probably don't have but should buy..
good luck.
please don't kill yourself mang

i'm in process of painting my rims, I was wondering is it possible to just take the rims off without using any special tools? Like the 5 bolts on the rim, is it safe to take it off with the big metal tool that came with the car and the car ramp thing that came with the car or do i need to go rent it?
powdercoating the stockies is a waste of money imo.
if you take your time and do the prep and everything right itll last a while.
mine have held up for 20K+ miles already, and i DIDNT even do that good of a job.
id only fork out the cash to have wheels PC'd if they were more expensive or if i had a real good hookup.
