Got mine all copper slipped last month, after a failed attempt at removing them on the standard jack.
If not you will end up calling the RAC/AA out for a flat and end up feeling a bit of a lemon!

will have to get round to gettin mine jacked up and TRY to remove the wheels when i get some time off work, few months ago i had a flat and couldnt get the wheel off for love nor money, was stuck fast, now i know why. had to use tyreweld for a quick fix
where do i get some copper slip from??
another tip when buying a second hand car check wheel brace fits locking nut adaptor mine didnt fit lucky was at home at time
will take them off soon then had this on my old rover coupe i had to run accross the garden and drop kick them ones off not good
the corrosion between the wheel and hub is mainley a residue caused by a electrostatic reaction from the alloy of the wheel and the steel of the hub causing friction to leave a salty crystal like residue that kind of welds them both together,so i was taught at a michelin training course.
A good swift kick with the bottom of your foot should soon see the rims removed then copper slip the back of the rim,the hub face and the threads on the bolts and you shouldnt have any more problems.
i've had one's before that i've spent 15mins with a soft headed hammer trying to remove.....they can weld on the central boss really tight..
cheers, will try and get that done as soon as, anyone ever use a cordless impact wrench to get the stubborn vx locking wheel nuts off??
I put this thread up some while ago, don,t know if it is some help to you all.
(Wheels corroded on to hub)... sorry I don,t know how to put it up as a link but if you put it in the search box, there is a bit of a "how to" on removing the wheels.
