Default “Tire vs Rim” Removal is a real PITA! Do we need a better solution?

Come on we all want to hear your success stories and your screw-ups [:@]

I know heat will work if you used CA glue Be careful toooo much heat will screw up chrome rims I know for a fact [:'(]

I also know debonder will work if you used CA glue

Stubborn wheels debonder + heat

Acetone will also work better than debonder on CA glue Will also work on Super Glue just not as well Super Glue is a pita it takes a lot of patience.
If you use acetone make sure it's compatible with your rim

I've always taken my tires off the rims by poppin them in the oven at 350f for 15mins works like a charm and only had issues with one set of chrome rims and that was a set of TRX split spokes, just left a bunch of little dots on the rims.

Try boiling them... theres a few articles on it and it worked pretty good for me. There was a few spots that didn't want to let go but for the most part it worked like a charm.
