i am in the process of changing my factory wheels for my old aftermarket my problem is i got the lugs of but the wheel dosent seem to want to come off. has anyone had this prob?

It's corrosion holding the wheel in place. That's why I always use a little anti-seize on areas where the wheel contacts the hub.

Removing it will take some force with wiggling, patience, and maybe some liquid wrench or other penetrant and time.

Good luck.

I always just make sure the car is secured really well, and kick the tire, it should come off after a few good kicks. I was at a tire shop once and they used a sledge, but then again they wanted me to show them how to put their 10 speed back together, needless to say I havent been back since!

^^^^ yep thats what i did now i got to take it back to the shop. i went to change the last tire to find a loose lug. started loosing it and all it does is free spin [rant]

Whenever I run across this I just leave one lug on loosely (so it doesn't come flying at me when it breaks loose) and kick it.
