i'm putting rims on my '00 civic dx and was doin just fine until i got to the rear. i already have the car on jacks with the hubcaps & the lug nuts removed. there is a gold circular plate in the middle of the stock steel wheel and i can't get the rear wheels off. do i have to remove this gold piece? if so, how? thanks

 

is your parking brake on??

gold plate? I don't know what you're talking about. Have a digital camera??

 

just kick the wheel with your foot...on the top of it...

 

wow, I'm an idiot. Disregard my parking brake comment. For some reason I was thinking you couldn't get the brake drum off

<--- needs more sleep, lol

 

no need to remove that gold piece. just take a hammer or mallet and hit the wheel in different spots until it knocks off...

 

dont worry i got it. i think that my parking brake being on actually did have an effect. i took it off & the wheels popped right off. sry you wasted your time posting on this thread.[sm=vader1.gif](vader rules)
