You could loosen the lug nuts on both wheels and take a 4 x 4 (cut to the right length) and a bottle jack on its side (pump on the bottom) and put it between the wheels and jack them apart till they break loose. I would prefer this over beating on things.
This is what I was going to suggest next. Most likely stuck on the hub. That's where the ones were stuck that I had to jack apart.
I agree it sounds like the hole where the axle hub sticks through is to small.
Was this car parked in a river bed?
They are Cecil!!!!!! My new ones that is!!!!
My luck would be I'd jack one side off and be "stuck" with the other one without any leverage!!!!
When, or if, you get them off see if they have 2- 29/32 dia. hub holes or 2- 21/32 holes. my guess is the latter.
Since these are after market wheels how do you know they have the same hub hole size as the originals. Even GM couldn't keep them straight. I bought a set of replacement 3837080 Chevy 15x5.5K wheels from the Chevy dealer that the parts catalog said were for 57-64 Corvette. Well they almost fit on my 62 and I actually got one on but it was tight. I had to fight it but took it off and filed out the hub hole just enough to make it fit like the originals but shouldn't have to do that.
Bottom line is not all hubs or holes are the same...close but not right.
The hub hole on the mags is much larger then the cars hub, they're stuck on the lug holes or behind against the drum

Probably submerged in salt water at one time....
It wouldn't be the first one.... https://barnfinds.com/shiny-but-rusty-1965-corvette-coupe/
Jack one side loose, snug those lug nuts back up a little, then take nuts off the other side, jack against the wheel that has already been loosened. Both will need some wire brushing on the axle before the new wheels go on. The last one I had stuck was a 88 3/4 ton pickup with factory wheels. Just rusted on. It doesn't take much. Montana is not known as a rust state.
Well I would be throwing that volo tag in the trash since the sales video said it was turn key ready to go. Wheels preference easy to change,,,ha. So rear brakes were not checked either.I would be calling volo.Is there any kind of a warranty on the car??? Maybe not???
Leave all lug nuts on but loose,
