Wheels can be a bear!

4 guys spent 45 minutes trying to "un-bead" a 10.00x20 tire on a Budd wheel last week at my shop. Resorted to driving a fire truck (with same, big tires) over the stubborn tire. No good. Finally decided that, if the local truck tire place was insane enough to only charge $16.50 for removing tires, we'd gladly let them have the fun.

Haven't picked up the wheels yet, but guessing we'll get some dirty looks when we do . . .
