Real Pro Tip: Coat the wheel mounting surface and the hub with anti-seize paste and they'll pop right off next time. Galvanic corrosion will absolutely weld a wheel to the hub.
Yeah, I thought about that but didn't have any grease or anything on me either. Hopefully the steels won't be so sticky in the spring and I'll put some on then
Another pro tip (not for the faint of heart): If the wheel is absolutely stuck to the hub, loosen the lugs by 1-2 turns and go for a drive, yanking the wheel side to side. Stop when you hear/feel the wheel has loosened, tighten the lugs and go...

Read moreWhat i heard was to loosen the lug nuts, then drive it around a bit (SLOWLY)
I thought about that but really only had the nerve to roll it backwards and forwards in and out of the parking spot a couple of times...
