I like the loose lugs theory, have done similiar in the past. If rolling back and forth doesn't do it, rocking the car side to side might help.
I actually had one so siezed I had to DRIVE the car (albeit slowly) around my parking area to loosen it.
If you don't have an 18 pound tank bar in your toolbox you need a bigger box. In some areas they call them a rockbar. I keep one in my truck for the inevitable zomby apocalypso. Pry or hammer the bar doesn't care, something gives.
i had this exact problem on my truck today..
79 Chevy 3/4 ton 4X4 with stock steel wheels.. the last time the wheels were off was about 2 years ago. my solution- after trying to kick the passenger side wheel off by standing with my back to the truck and hitting it as squarely as i could with the bottom of my foot about 10 times- was to grab a 6X8X3 foot long wood block and throw it at the rim as hard as i could, aiming for the bead area for maximum leverage without having the tire throw the block back at me... the wheel fell right off.. move to driver's side- one throw of the magic block and it fell right off.
physics is fun.
if i had aluminum wheels, i'd use the power steering to do the work for me by placing a similar wood block between the wheel and the frame and turning the wheel against the block.. they pop right off when you do that.
Have you tried a shotgun?
Loosen the lug nuts a few turns. Then roll the car back and forth a few times over a 2x4. That might knock it loose. Have a spotter (wife/girlfriend/beer drinking friend) stand out side and let you know when the wheel cums loose so you dont damage the studs/lug nuts by rolling around on them with the wheel loose.
