Help! Can't pull alloy wheels off

[PoorOwner]

Use the opposite side wheel to your advantage and apply force directly where you need it. A 4x4 length of wood against the opposite wheel and a bottle jack against the inside of the wheel you're trying to get off.

This is a pretty good idea but I think bottle jack doesn't like to operates side ways, though you may get in a couple of squeezes

It would seem to me you have 4 or 5 lug holes to spray in lubricant or patience might be the key instead of immediately hitting with a sledge on your own car.

Anyone tried navel jelly? People use it to check weld penetration I wonder if it will get into the gaps, but I remember it being a jelly, not a thin oil

Bottle jack dont care which way it operates. Port-a-power is a bottle jack and it operates any which way and is designed to push or pull.

Best idea I heard was a bottle jack with a 4x4 spacer between the 2 tires.

Yes. That is the best way to bend an alloy wheel that is frozen to the hub...
