Yes, take it to garage who will have it off in about 2 minutes, not worth doing it yourself really.

Set the wheels on fire and the rubber will melt then just pull the wire bits away. Your alloys will be fine as they won't burn.

Are you actually being serious

Also, Ive found round Lincoln way no one will fit your own parts as they cant guarantee them, they have to buy them in and fit them for you. I would say tyres are included
