How do you guys stop your rims from sticking to your hub?

The hubcentric ring on the wheels usually hangs on and is the cause of the wheel welding itself on tight, a smear of copper slip grease around this ring usually stops this and makes for easy removal. I carry a set of wheel bolt extending rods to screw in the bolt holes and slip the wheel over them when remounting the wheel, makes the struggle with the large wheels an locating them in line with the bolt holes a doddle and hernia free!!

Check oem to make sure you get the right size, my E85 takes M12 x 1.5

I recently used the copper antiseize but I was pleasantly surprised the wheel I recently did before the cooper antiseize did not really stick since I set the torque to the proper foot lbs. Whoever had tightened the wheels before me had it tightened way too much!

Thanks for the links. I use the extending rod that came with the car. It is a large help. I put some plastic bags on my feet to protect my shoes then lift the tire with my feet while lining it up with my hands.
