Fitted my Winter wheels yesterday due to snow forecast.
The original wheels have been on for 22 months/18500 miles and I had to use a block of wood and sledge hammer to get them off the hubs due to the ally wheel festering onto the steel hub.
Normally I take the wheels off when I get the car and apply copper grease to the inside of the wheel to stop this happening, but had not got round to it, mainly cos the S-line is too low to go on the 4 post ramp at work.
So if you are looking for something to do, take your wheels off one at a time and smear the inside of the centre with copper grease before you have a puncture and find yourself with a wheel which you cannot get off at the side of the road.
