The rust is the problem, and its usually around the hub centric rings... you need to lift the car take the lugs off and kick the tire at the top or bottom not the sides...

if you sit on the ground you can support yourself and just tap it... it should come right off... that way you wont damage anything...

Once off (used large lump of wood to shift mine) wire brush all rust off hub and clean up alloy wheel centres. Put copperslip around hub contact areas - future problem solved!
