I had the steel rallye wheels on one of my Chargers seize onto the front
hubs of the car, it had sat for several years outdoors without being driven
before I bought it. After several attempts with various hammers and a lot
of cussing, I put the lugs nuts back on, leaving them loose, actually not
touching the wheel itself at all, but very close...after several sharply
executed figure eights in my back yard, the wheels came free, retained by
the lug nuts, this was done at a relatively low speed, in my own backyard,
the neighbors think I'm nuts, but then again they always did...

Several Dodge Chargers, and a bunch of other stuff...
