Ok, so I took of my dress, used a healthy dose of vagisil and ripped that sucker off. As soon as I posted this I thought I must have just been being a *****! haha On a good note, my break calipers are now painted red and I'm just waiting the three hours to put the tires back on before I scoot on over to work for the night. I'll get some pics uploaded in my "feeling ambitious" thread. Thanks for helping me realize I was just being a *****, haha

I do a lot of stop and go drving in Dallas, so I guess that gives off a fair amount of heat especially like you said on the front wheels.

Yeah you can't be trying to take your tire off with your purse, that doesn't work well.

Hahah baker, they seem to get stuck if they are un-touched for a period of time. DO some work to your car son! You're slacking!

I'll admit, I'm slacking in the wheel dept. As far as doing work on my car, you've got to be kidding me!?!?! I guess I'm going to have to look into rotating my wheels and a little more preventative maintenance vs. modding the hell out of my ride! haha

You know that yellow has the fastest characteristics so you stop and go with alot more force, thus causing the excess friction and wheel stick. Small price to pay for the fastest color.

Haha, this is a solid thread. It's unfortunate though that Mellow is giving out false advice...because it's obvious that Redfires are by far the fastest...followed by Black, and then Yellow. They call it Screaming Yellow for a reason, that's because it's angry because it got smoked by a Redfire.

I thought this was common knowledge...apparently not.

Our wheels will often "weld" themselves to the rotors over time due to corrosion and the reaction between dissimilar metals. Quite common to see somone sitting on the ground kicking the living **** out of their tires.
