Diddo, and if that doesn't do it, use a torch to heat up the rim where it touches the hub, then wack it some more.

I had a chain hooked to the rim then to another truck and we had to jerk them off. Even then it took three attempts.

A good dousing with PB Blaster for a day or so should make them come off much easier.
Ford uses hub centric wheels, so be sure to spray around the hole in the center where the hub sticks through.
