Its more likely than not just REALLY corroded, I work at a tire shop and it happens to cars ALL the time! Just keep on slammin on it...and if you want to be careful you can screw on a lug nut and hit the back of the tire so when it does come off....it won't fly anywhere! Haha good luck, lemme know how it goes.

use a mallet and hit the back side of the wheel. And make sure ur hitting the "rim" not the tire.
