Default Don't Try This At Home!

I bought a used set of pin drive wheels for my Superformance racing tires (Hoosier A6). The fronts went on fine, but the rear wheels required me to force them on the pins with the spinner. After I had the first wheel on, I realized I didn't know how I was going to get these wheels off! With the help of my F-150 and the wife's Mini Cooper, I was able to use a ratchet and muscle the wheels off. See the pictures! I was really worried about screwing something up big time, but I did it without any damage. Basically, I loosened the spinners (didn't remove the spinners completely), tied a rope to each wheel and pulled them apart using the two vehicles as anchor points.

My question is how to fix these wheels so I can easily slide them off and on? I'm thinking about taking them down to a machine shop and ask them to drill out the pin drive holes 1/32". I thought someone might have a suggestion on how to fix these wheels. Better question might be why are they screwed up? I have a PM into the CC guy that sold them to me....
