How do I get my stock wheels off?
I took off all the bolts but it won't budge, I figure something's behind the center cap but I can't figure out how to get behind it. Sorry if this is a repeat thread I'm just in a bit of a rush, any help is at all appreciated

dont pull... you'll just pull a muscle.
and yeah like what prelude says leave a lug nut on there like 2 or 3 threads so if you're hitting from behind or if the car is high on a lift or something the wheel doesnt wobble off and fall on something that can damage that pretty aluminum wheel.

this is my fave thing to do to... and one of the few times it is reasonable to do it... hit things with stuff in this case hit your tire with something... i vote rubber mallet

If you don't want to use a hammer to beat on it, another way to do it would be to loosen up all the lug nuts, but don't remove them. Then roll the car back and forth a few feet in the garage, it should break it loose. I've never had one stick more than a good heel kick into the side of the tire though.

take out the bolts and lower the car down so tire will touch the ground. this should put enough weight to break wheel loose. do not bring down the jack all the way, just enough to put some load.

Kick it or use a rubber hammer. Simple as that. Buy PB blaster, lightly cover all 5 studs with PB and soak the lug nut's threads in it. Then the next time you go to do remove your wheels they will slide off.
