Fulminatus, I'll try to post a picture of the "holes" that I referred to. They are actually a small groove in the wheel itself, and when the wheel mates against the hub on the car a gap is formed. This is where I injected WD-40 with the red straw. This is on my stock alloy wheels. Perhaps it is not on all of them though.

Hey, sorry it took me a while to get back to this thread. Tis the season you know.
I took a picture and you may view it here (152KB). Sorry about the rusty rotors, that's what happens in Ohio this time of year. Especially when the car has sat in the garage all weekend.
Anyhow, inside the red circle on the image is the "hole" I spoke of. There are about five of these around the circumference of the wheel. They accept the straw on a can of WD40 perfectly. I flooded each hole with WD40 and waited half an hour. This was the only way I could get the wheels off.
Hope this helps!
