Late Model Wheel stuck on Early Model

First, this isn't my car. I have a 97, so I couldn't run into this problem. Anyways, I'm helping a friend to figure out how he can get one of the ZR1s off his car. All the others, come off fine, but the rear passenger-side wheels is STUCK on there. We both kicked the hell out of it and didn't make any progress. I realize why it's stuck on there (his Camaro is a 94). Any ideas on how to get it off without damaging the wheel, they're chrome ZR1s.

I just started kicking the hell out of it. Worked for me. Have you tried spraying any WD-40 to help break up some of the corrosion?

take a peice of wood and a 3 lb sledge, jack up the car, put it on a jackstand, please, remove the lugs, put the piece of wood on the inside of the rim, and hit it with the sledge
