Lower the car until there's a good bit of pressure on that wheel, and then raise it back up. Try this two or three times.

use a deadblow mallet. Mine always get stuck, just make sure you have atleast 1lug nut somewhat on otherwise your wheel will go flying off and may scratch it if it falls on it's face. Once you get the wheel off, take a wire brush and clean up the crud that's on the rotor where your wheel sits and around the center cap. That should make it easier to remove next time.

Next time you put the wheels back on and lugs, make sure you torque the lugnuts to 80lbs-ft of torque...and this goes for OE and aftermarket lugs.

ya mean you aren't supposed to tighten them with a 4 foot breaker bar???

everybody overtightens wheels b/c they think it's "Safer"
take this man's advise and stick to the book..... even pressure is key.. and 90 ft pounds is eaily attained with a tire iron....
