Re: WHEEL PROBLEM!! NEED HELP QUICKLY!! (jolfoo)
If it's a steel rim (you don't mind possibly scratching it), try wacking it with something hard like a hammer or the tire iron. A rubber mallet is good for not marking up the rim, but doesn't deliver the same impact "shock" that might jar the wheel loose. Of course if it's an alloy rim you probably don't want to do that, unless you want to try to hit it from the backside where any marks won't really show.
Alternatives are heating the rim and/or using some liquid wrench/pb blaster type fluid to try to break/loosen the bond between the wheel and hub.
I had the same problem, but it was a steel wheel, so I could just wack on it with a hammer and it finally came loose after a few tries.
Good Luck
