As a person who is neither big, nor small.. let me point out that you
don't need to be either to get *most* lug nuts off of the car. The trick
is to find somethign with a handle long enough for you to jump on, or if
you're big enough just stand on it. Especially with the alloy wheels,
they don't need to be tightened very much (compared to something like the
front crank bolt).
With the turbo wheels, you've gotta be extra careful. Steel wheels are
much harder and more durable than the soft alloy wheels. You can bend the
Virgos pretty easily even with a 60 series tire (so I've heard), and
they're expensive to replace (as I'm sure you already know).
FWIW if you can find a fifth 15 inch steel wheel, you might want to keep
that as a spare in your trunk (or just hope you've got cell phone coverage
and AAA nearby wherever you go).
P.S. Pay attention to those flat tires. Even in the !$#!@ rain, they
should be quite noticible, especially if it's a front tire (you should
feel some pretty serious vibration in the steering wheel).
