Was the same on the my dads 330 and my brothers Compact.

Just jack it up and lie underneath the car and give the wheel a good kick from behind, will fly off then

Hit the inside of the rim with a hammer. Put a block of wood there if you are worried about damaging it.

ok so i decided to do what i want to do instead of listen to everyone else.

before:





as you can see, very rusty and shit looking.

good old dad smashed the wheels off for me and applied some grease on the hubs.

after:





i'm not 100% on it if i'm honest. better than rust though.

U2u john d and ask what happens when you ''man up'' it took 4 or 5 hits from a sledge hammer to remove them.

Far too many muscle bound hulks on here.

Didn't his mate try and kick the face of his wheel and miss it like a fucking retard

Worked for me by kicking the back of the rim from underneath the car
