As I don't think that I can offer you any solid technical support, you have my moral support. I went through the same frustrating dilemma with my car after owning it for about a year. I pounded on the spinners with my lead hammer, and in the correct direction after a while, for several minutes over three days. They ultimately loosened to my persistent impacts with the hammer, the face of which became flattened to a large mushroom shape. I have to believe that you will also be successful in removing your spinners and feel the satisfaction of the accomplishment. And in doing so, I think that you will appreciate in the future, the ease with which you will be able to remove and replace your wheels via spinners instead of lugs as long as you remember not to over tighten the spinners. I find this unique aspect of my car to be enjoyable, not only for its technical efficiency in wheel removal, but also for its historical lineage.
