Hey Team!As some of you know already I could not get the aftermarket wheels off the C8….and I tried  several recommended ideas/suggestions and none of them worked. Vibrating the car, hitting the tires with a rubber mallet etc.

Randy Grubb came by and suggested putting my garage heater on them for 5 minutes just to warm to +|- 110-120f and they came right off. Yea heat expansion works great!! 🥳
The hub centric section of the wheel hub had just enough rust/corrosion and stick that I could not muscle them off. Or even get them off with a rubber mallet. My old man  arms and legs also did not help.🙄
Randy wire brushed the hubs, then sanded down with Emory paper and put a very light coat (glaze) on hubs and inside of wheel before reinstalling.
Thanks to Randy for showing me the correct way to break a wheel off. 
Randy proving once again why he gets the big bucks. 
Thanks Randy.
