Went to our local Goodyear and dropped off my Z-51 polished rims and tires to have them taken off and put tires on a set of chrome Z06 replicas. They just called and said that they have spent two hours and still have not been able to take the tire off the original wheel. They said they could not get them off without scratching the wheel so they gave up. Said side walls were so stiff all they were able to do was break the bead lose but unable to dismount. Help any solutions. Have rims with tires and can't make the change.
My Chevy Dealer dismounted and mounted my tires on my WCC Chromes and not a scratch on either set of wheels. The total charge was 78.53. Mounted and balanced to perfection. Check to see if your delaer has one of these and someone qualified to use. http://www.gsp9700.com/
If you don't have a machine designed to handle run-flat tires you will never get it done. Make sure whoever does it is particularly careful of the sensors, I see these things damaged every day.
