Being a fan of wire wheels on cars, and British sports cars, I have lots of wheel stories including a front wheel stripping the splines during hard breaking on an XK150 and almost coming off. One thing I've learned is to use a big dead blow hammer which seems to impart more force without damaging the chrome on the knockoff. Dave
