Take a piece of wood and a large hammer. Put the wood up against the wheel and give it so good whollups with the hammer. The aluminum has welded itself to likely steel parts. Aluminum and steel don't like to touch each other. When you put the wheel back on, spray some WD 40 between them so this don't happen again

The wood and hammer method will be the right one, there are sprays available to loosen it, if wood and hammer are not efficient enough.
As long as you do not hit the alloy directly, you wheel will stand some good smacks without damage, just be careful not to hit the alloy, or you will need to get the weels adjusted again, like if you put on a new tyre.

alloy wheels tend to stick very hard you need a rubber hammer & give it a good smack on the back of the wheel it should budge then

as some have said hit back off wheel with block of wood and hammer and when you replace it use a lubricant called copperslip(copper grease) as it stops the 2 metals reacting with each other and sticking

Kick the rubber part of the wheel north then south then east then west. this should loosen the wheel off.

Is the owners manual in the glove box? The instructions would be in there.
