My wheel was actually stuck to the hub today, I only took it off because its been 'ticking' going round corners, I was there for about 15 minutes prizing it off slowly and it came off with many bangs on the back off the tyre to get it off and lots of moving it but now its solved the ticking now ive had it off?
Anyone got any ideas?

If you over torque the wheel studs, then this can happen, did you perhaps put anti theft studs on recently? The packs usually warn against over tightening. Perhaps you had a puncture repaired recently with an over zealous use of an air gun, this can cause a wheel to stick as well.

probably just the rust keeping it all together mate just get a placka hammer or somethign and tap them off rotate the wheel aswel so you dont bash in 1 place and comes off more or less easy and when you put your wheels back on wire brush the hub and a bit of copper grease will make it easier next time around

Tends to happen to alloy wheels, with heating and cooling down the metal face tends to fuse slightly which causes the wheel to stick on.
Plenty of copper grease will do it
