Okay, well I am in the process of installing 17" Caldina Alloys onto my car...
My problem is in this part of the car/wheel:   Basically, the wheel was quite difficult to get to sit properly when installing them, and then when I was removing the wheel It wouldn't come off at all.. As if it was wedged onto the car... I had to put my whole body weight onto the wheel to get it off the car, both sides where the same... The only thing I can think of causing this is the round part shown above which slips onto the car... Anyone got any ideas what I could do to stop this, because it doesn't feel correct at all... Or anyone currently running on Caldina alloys have the same problem?

Some petroleum jelly or lithium grease would work well. Not only would it help with the wheel getting stuck, it'll keep the hub from rusting up again.

That will be the plan once tyres are on! -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
