When you put the wheel back on use a smear of copper grease around the hub flange. The wheels tend to bind on the hubs due to Alloy/Steel reactions.

Or maybe anti-seize solution?

+1 I haven't tried but some guys said it worked very well for them. Loosen all the wheel studs a FEW turns with the wheel on the ground and roll the car back and forth a little bit and the rim will come loose from the hub without any damage, most important put some kind of lubricant on the hub after you clean off the corrosion, I use a thin coat of wheel bearing grease.
Good luck
cheers
