Having had problems in the past, can anyone suggest a good way of removing stuck alloy wheelsf other than an almighty rubber hammer?
I have heard that jacking up and removing wheel nuts, then laying on you back kicking alternate sides of the tire with the base of your feet works?

yep on your back kicking the wheel worked for me....took a while as mine seemed welded on my car.

I'd loosen, rather than remove, the nuts, and consider using an axle stand.

Re: Removing Alloy wheels
Thanks for the comments - so kicking is the way, better warn my neighbours in case they think I am having a funny turn or tantrum.
