get a peice of wood and place it on the back side of the rim and give it a good whack with a hammer. hit it in place so it doesnt slingshot somewhere else

2 weeks ago when i changed my brakes the fuggin rotors where frozen to the spindle it took me about 30-40 minutes each side to beat them off. so good luck and they will come off.

Use a blowtorch and flame up all 5 of your lug nut studs...they will expand and loosen and then just pull them off. I'm serious.

I dont know if this would help or be ok. But could you try some WD-40 behind the lugs kinda where the wheel is stuck to the mounts? Then just wiggle it or kick it or what not

these guys already told you how to get them off. after you do appy a little anti-seize on the back and you will not have this happen again. you should also put on the hub, between the rotor mounting surface when you do brakes. trust me on this i remove alot of wheels and brakes.
