oh are forgot lol
You could try heating the alloy up a bit. But I usually just keep beating them from side to side.
You could do the loose nuts thing and then jack it up fron the other side so that whole weight of the thing is acting on the wheel at an angle. Then hit it, bounce on it etc etc.
i know you have said your trying to fit a lift kit and that is why you are taking the wheels off but is it appsolutely necessary to take them off. cant you just struggle round them?

Pump the tires right up and use a bigger hammer! work from side to side, they should eventually move.

Loosen the nuts, put a tow rope through the wheel, and use a vehicle to pull it off?
