   How do boys and girls. Trying to get my rear two alloys off, won't budge.
   Now ive jacked it up, dropped it on its own weight,
   Tried plank of wood on the outside whacking it,
   Tried dropping off the jack onto a brick just on the inner tyre.
   Tried doing a hand break turn with 1 bolt in.
   
   Any suggestions on how to get the rusted on bastards off?

   Assuming the rear side of the wheel is dished get a mallet & go round the rim hitting it.

   Remove the wheel nuts and take it for some handbrake turns - preferably in a McDonald's car park.
   
   Edit: didn't read it properly, you've already tried it!!

   Get the wheel bolts off & see if a pry bar can be used between the back off the wheel & drum/hub.

   It will come off with a good smack from the back, have had it in a couple of cases though where I've had to use a sledge hammer to get then to budge, but keep one wheel nut/bolt on a few threads to stop the wheel flying off!

   Make sure it is well supported (axle stands, etc.) and give it a good whack from the rear. I'd probably use a hide hammer, but a block of wood and a club hammer would do the same. It will come!
   
   Next time, just put a light coat of copper grease on the wheel - just the contact points obviously - and it won't stick.

    wooden mallet or nylon hammer. I try to avoid the club hammer though its more satisfying

    basically you hit like a 4 year old girl lol
    hit it, rotate the wheel 45 degrees, hit it and so on until it comes off.
    
    and break out the club hammer...

    KwikFit will charge you about £20 to remove a couple of wheels and balance them up.
    
    Might be a cheap solution?

    I couldn't get a wheel off so I took a different wheel off & used it to whack the seized one. Has a lot of weight & surface area & because you only smash the tyre into it, no damage is caused.

    Had a little difficulty last weekend removing a rear alloy on my VTR, however a hard hit with a rubber mallet shifted it.
    
    I do however remember several years ago my work colleagues Saxo (with steel wheels I believe) I had enormous trouble shifting a wheel on that. I tried several hammers - rubber mallet, club hammer and blocks of wood. Ended up driving with the wheel nuts loose and it STILL wouldn't free bumping up and down curbs etc. I did eventually get it off, but it was a proper pain.
