So I was trying to take my 18 Inch Flik Arctics off my car, so I could put my stock 16's back on for a bit, and my right left hubcentric ring wont come off the car! I tried everything, I just can't seem to get it off. Guys give me some suggestions, without sawing it off! What could I take to it to get it off? I know its a tight fit, and I have a feeling, thats probably what it is...?? Give me a hand guys, I know some of you are miracle workers concerning this kind of stuff.

or just a large 16oz hammer & locate the spacer/hub seam, place screwdriver tip @ that seam and give it a few firm taps...
That should free it up...

If not, spray some liquid wrench into the seam and let it penetrate (Careful not to spray brake calipers)...Repeat above.

a pipe wrench to twist it off. Be carefull not to chew it up. I now carry a thin broad bladed srewdriver in case I get a flat and I'm on the road trying to change the wheel.I try to wedge it behind the ring and pry it off.

Spray some WD40 around the edges and use the screw driver gently around the ring to slowly pry it off. the key word is gentle.

I did this too, but be careful not to damage the ring.
