sure, You could have security locks on the lugnuts.
 
Have the car jacked up, but perhaps can't figure out how to get the lugnuts off.
 
Is that your problem?

Car is jacked up and lug nuts are off. Tire and rim will still not budge. If it is seized up what would you recommend?

Got it......now we understand what your problem is. This is caused by some corrosion or rust that has gotten in between the rim and the mounting flange.
 
Correct, as the other poster has responded, you need to hit on the wheel a little bit. But, be careful. First, make sure the vehicle is well supported so when you are hitting on the wheel that you don't put enough pressure to knock it off the jack. Secondly, be careful that you don't dent or bend the rim.
 
You can also try spraying with a little WD-40, but don't overdo it. Take off the lugnuts, and then around each lugnut spray some juice and try to get it in the joint where the stud comes thru the rim. You want to get the spray on the 'inside' of the rim, between where the rim would get snugged up against the backing plate by the lug bolt. Don't go crazy with the spray and get any on the brake disc or pads.
 
If it is really stuck on, you may have to use the weight of the vehicle to break it free. In that case, put the lug nuts back on, but don't snug them up, leave them so they are just not touching the rim. Then lower the car back down on all fours, and start rocking the car back and forth sideways.

We have tapped the wheel with a rubber mallet and a sledge hammer. We tried WD40 and liquid mechanic..
We will try putting the lugnuts back on and rocking it. It is well supported by cement blocks. (Jack is to flimsy)

You can even put the lug nuts on loosely (finger tight at best) and drive forward and back a little bit if you don't want to throw your back out. It should break free in the first few feet.

Car Starts Then Dies by notownts

Daewoo 2000 Lanos. Car will start then moments later it will die. When it's started I can push down on the gas pedal and it will rev up, but if I push too far down on gas pedal it will immediately die. It will run fine with engine starter fluid. Makes me think something to do with fuel. I can hear the Fuel Pump turn on. I've changed the Fuel Filter under the hood, Idle Control Valve, and Throttle Positioning Sensor. I'm now thinking maybe it's the Fuel Pump, Fuel Injector(s), Computer, I need advice before I go out and spend more money. I bought a ODB II code reader. Originally I was getting the P0120 code, but then I replaced the Throttle Positioning. Now no codes, perhaps I cleared the code by accident or the issue was resolved. Any advice of what my problem may be would be appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like the head gasket for the leak, and a new starter is needed. Have a 99 Leganza 2 starters went bad, exactly the symptoms you described ! As for your leak, my money is on the head gasket since you cannot find a visible leak, if it was the water pump, there should be signs of a leak. Good luck!
