My first 4x4 would have this problem with the rallies sticking to the axle.
What I did was get 6 grade 8 bolts in the same pitch as the center cap bolts that are slightly longer since the threads go all the way through the wheel, I'd start tightening them up gently until they bottomed out and then go around gently putting more pressure on the bolts with a long ratchet and the wheels would pop right off. Never had a bent wheel either since I went slow on each of the bolts like i was tightening the lug nuts in a criss-cross pattern. Worked every time.
