    I put my stock rear wheels back onto my car, drove around for 20 minutes, did a small burnout, then whent to take them off. After i took the lugs off, both the wheels were stuck on the car, they would not come off. i had to hammer them with a piece of wood to get them off. does anyone know why it did this?

    Used to have this problem on my last car. Haven't taken the wheels off of this on yet.

    I'm pretty sure something back there was expanding and tightening up on you. I avoided this the next time by putting some silicone in between the wheel and the hub.

    probably over torqued them when you installed the lugnuts.

    I took it to the shop to get it fixed. They said it was because the hub was rusted it got stuck to the wheel. Because the stock wheels fit very snug onto the hub and my aftermarket wheels do not.
