i have a problem i put some .190 douglas aluminum wheels on my 400ex and i very stupidly put the lugs back on taper side in. now the aluminum is pressed into the lug bolts. what would be the easiest way to remove the wheels with out messing them up? i would appreciate some input.

i finally got them off. i had to loosen the lug nuts and pound the lug bolts out.

If you damaged the aluminum around the holes you may want to use some washers between the lug nuts and the rim now...

I always use lock washers on mine. I would defiently use them if you bent the rim in around the holes.
