This always works for me. I have a engineer's hammer in my garage just for this purpose. At least one rim is stuck everytime I rotate my tires.

Thanks guys! Going to try a bigger hammer while it is still up on the jack. I just don't like shaking the rig that much even with extra jack stands and it seems like the tie rod ends take a good bit of the blow. If that doesn't work going for a spin with the lugs loose....

Quick question. Is this a problem with a particular kind of wheel (steel, alloy, both)?
