Tyre valve stem leak

All usable wheels need balancing. It is possible to diy them with gear to allow the wheel to rotate freely, 10g weights and multiples are needed.
As for grot, post #51 shows an alloy wheel with a centre that needs cleaning.......a rotating wire brush on a drill is perfect.
To remove the tyre you need the rim to be secured, a centre pillar that goes through the wheel centre and a long smooth bar that you pull on to ease the tyre over the rim. Crowbars will tear the tyre and shred the rim.
I should say, I'd never attempt this with a car wheel, I limit my experience with lawn tractors - and they are bad enough.
