umm, buy a different set of rims, they're not supposed to come off. or if you don't want to buy new rims, dremel

Use a mallet and strike the rim. They'll come out enough to use something else to grab them.

umm set it up so u have something under the PVC pipe alone and hit the rim (just dont break it) and the PVC should come off

You are supposed to take PVC off. Usually at the point when it's quite worn out. Then you replace the PVC/ABS.

If you use them to the point where they are very very thin you can just rip them off by hand. For the abs that is. The pvc may be a different story i suppose.

I would put it on (not in) a vice so that only the pvc/abs is on the edge and then gently hammer the rim down (out). The saw idea sounds good too. or drill a hole in the middle and use a needle nose pliers to rip them off.
