Here's a variation on David's thoughts with a few other tips learned along the way.
First, he's absolutely right about pounding on an unsupported wheel with potential suspension componant issues, Ive seen this more than once on several English cars with 2 eared knockoffs. The first important issue I see overlooked is first when removing, everybody wants to hold the hammer at the very end and pound the s..t out of the spinner...right up until they wiff and clip a rim or mash a finger. Hold it right below the head and give it several medium level directed blows.....it will loosten after 6-8.
When tightening, I'll give it a couple taps to snug, lower the car until the tire is down,still most weight supported and ,again, several medium blows. when you sense it no longer is moving....stop hitting it.
The other little trick I like is, check ebay and get some small grey shrink tube. For $10-$15 you get a lot, its virtually invisable, protects the paint. if youre careful you can reuse it. Since Im anal, I dont like tight wire on painted spokes.
Lastly, use antiseize sparingly, a little goes a long way and a lot gets thrown off by the rotating mass and tends to get gummy. take'em off and resecure every season or so so you can clean and relube, especcially if you push it and get brakes quite hot on a regular basis.
