You might want to hit the sides with a hammer or try to kick the sides.

Alucard is very right there. The aluminum alloys seem to have a much greater problem with corrosion between the center hub and wheel center. Try using a soft blow hammer on the inner edge and whack it outwards. If no such hammer then a regular striking tool is ok as long as you protect the wheel surface with a block of wood. Once off clean the mating surfaces with steel wool or wire brush and apply a very light coating of wheel bearing grease to both surfaces and you should not have any problem next time. Would not want to have that problem out along a raining freeway with a flat tire.[:@]

Yes make sure if you do put wheel bearing greases or lug nut grease make sure its just a little not to much just like a few drops and coat it around. Also check the bolts for any shavings or for any obstruction. Look and make sure there not bent also.

Yeah trust me I have a lot of cars that come in and the back wheels are so hard to get off for some reason they just seem to stick to that drum. I mean all I have to do it eather give it a good two or three hits with my palm or my foot to get it loose but good luck on trying that on a F350 lol.
