If you are feeling gung ho try loosening the wheel nuts/bolts slightly and then go for a very short and slow drive checking every 50 yards or so whether the wheel has loosened. This is best done on a private road and as soon as the wheel has loosened re-tighten the wheel and go home.
It's a bit cavalier I know but has worked for me a couple of times.

Cheers

once you do get the wheel off, apply coppersilp grease to all the contact surfaces on the wheel and the others and you will not have the problem in the future
