Front wheels stuck on...

i've got quite low tread on my fronts at the moment and can't get the new tyres till payday in a couple of weeks - was going to swap them with my rears but when i got to the front wheels I can't get them off - is this a normal problem??? (I have taken all the bolts out!)

it seems to have rusted onto the axle.....

hit them with a big hammer and they will come off.....put a bit of copper grease on the back of the rim before you refit them to stop it happening again

hhmmmmmmmmm

on the alloy or on the axle??

or any suggestions with less chance of damage to the alloys??

just hit the inside of the tyre mate and they will just fall off, dont need a lot of force
