Wheels won't come off!

I am new to the forum and new to BMW's. I got this BMW for free through promoting a 90 day health challenge. and was wondering what to do about the wheels sticking to the hub. I tried kicking it, pulling on it, hitting it with a sledge... It won't even so much as budge. I have a '92 5.0 Mustang that runs 10sec. 1/4 mile and I have never had any problem like this. I have also never had lug bolts on a car either. Any more suggestions that I haven't listed?

Talking

Out of curiousity what was this health challenge?

Did you shorten someone's life?

I quit smoking, practice Aikido 5 times a week, work out 5, go rock climbing once, and swim laps twice a week.

Ok, give me one

It is a 90 day health challenge centered around a natural shake mix that can be designed as a meal replacement or a suppliment depending on the persons specific fitness goal. For being a distributor, I recieve payment for my BMW. Black, silver, or green. It is incredibly easy to qualify for the payment. We had over 26 BMW qualifiers per day, last month alone.

Make sure you use a light film of anti-seize grease on the hubs and hub lips when you install wheels.
