Audi wheels fit over a hub centric ring - some aftermarket wheels use a separate ring adapter to fit the Audi hub to a larger hole in the wheel. My 1999 A4 only has the wheel mount directly to the hub. When I changed tires recently, the mechanic had a difficult time getting one wheel off. Had to rock it back and forth and twist and hit it and persuade it to come off. The car was on a lift, not a jack, so he could use a larger amount of force than I might have tried if the car had been on a jack.
Eventually he did get it off, and when he put it back on he put a small amount of anti-sieze around the hub ring.
Be careful, but give the wheel a good pull and twist and wiggle it off a bit at a time.
