Can I remove old race tires with a sawzall?

Stupid question / cheap question / butcher question. To avoid spending $40 to have old tires taken off the rims.....can I just cut them off.....This seems like a bad idea but then again I've got a garage full of cutting tools.....Basically any garage mechanic way to remove a tire without damaging the rims? Or do I just need to suck it up and pay.

My plan is to clean up the rims before putting new AX tires on them. However risking damage to a nice set of Fuchs is probably not a good idea. Somehow I don't have a problem paying to mount tires but it feels like a waste to transport pay to dismount, clean them up and then pay again to remount them on the new set of rims.
