Has anyone ever tried to take their tires off the rims? Getting it on is hard, but getting it off is impossible without damaging them I think.

I can only suggest putting the whole wheel in a tub of near boiling water for about 5 mins.
Hold the wheel/tyre in a towel as the metal wheel will be incredibly hot.
Once you get part of the tyre over the rim, the rest should come off easily.
Fingers crossed (but not burnt!)

I cannot get the tire removed without damaging them. But I found a way to protect the tire while removing the paint and polishing the rim so this is no longer needed.
