i had triple a come and help me with removing the tire. the assembly would just rotate so i had no leverage. i had to apply the brakes as he loosened the lug nuts. the jack the car comes with is pretty lame.

Holy hell!!!! Im glad I opened this thread. I was thinking of powder-coating my g35 wheels, but this really changed my mind. Im glad you're okay and thank God for the timing of the incident or there would've been much worse news.
