Pop to lacal garage for 1 minute, they will have off.
That would make the most sensible sense.
Or you could bomb it off with a hand grenade or use a chainsaw...........

How much does a typical alloy wheel weigh then?
I've got a set in the garage, might weigh 'em in
Shame really as they're in pretty good nick, but no-one seems to want em
