Very common problem for them to get seized on. Best way is to get a rubber mallet and bang the wheel from the inside, out.

V8 6spd wif MOMO leavaa.
i had a similar issue with a mates VK. we tried everything. last resort we left the nuts loose and drove it in a zigzag manner ( very slowly ) we had limited tools and needed to get them off the car.

i wouldnt recommend it.

Commodore owners should buy and keep a rubber mallet in the boot. Mos people have no idea they will be stuck on, and if they get a puncture, good luck taking the wheel off in the middle of no where with no tools he he.

They will only be seized together by a 15-20mm ring, on the center where the spigot goes inside the wheel hub, get the boot in mate!!

VYII SV8 One tonner
I had the same problem with my new SSZ wheels on the tonner. All I did was bash opposite sides of the tyre with the ball of my hand until it became loose. hard to explain without pics so I drew a little pic :)

Hit the stars lol
