Play romantic music and talk nice-nice to it??

Or maybe shoot some WD-40 inbetween the wheel and spindals. Take a rubber mallet and knock the wheel and hopefully the vibration will work the WD in there. Then try either knocking it off with a rubber hammer or grap both sides of the wheel and force it either way.

When you put the wheel back on, try some anti-sieze on the lugs and spindals so you don't have to do this again

Jack it up, sit on the ground, and then kick each side of the tire a few times! Worked on a friends Eclipse.

haha... this happened to my friends Civic SI... he had a flat and I helped him put on the spare. The rim was rusted to the hib really well. I used the spare tire and banged it a few times on the stuck tire and it did the trick

this happened 2 my friend who has a focus (sorry) and there were 4 little grooves in the rim where it meets the car to put a screwdriver and whack it w/ a hammer...and bingo the rim pops right off...if u dont have any grooves, and nothing else works then maybe u could make some

It's a very common problem with some cars in our local British car club.

Loosen the lug nuts just a couple of turns then VERY SLOWLY drive up and down the driveway until the wheel breaks loose.
