hey guys. i will soon be painting my aftermarket rims. right now i have my stock rims back on. i was wondering if i would be able to remove the tires by myself to make painting easier. the tires are basically bald so i was planning on deflating each tire and maybe start hacking away at it with an axe or something.

is this a good idea? anyone else done it? i know i can get it done at a shop but if its easy doing it myself i can save like 20 bux.
