LOL its not. Take a rubber mallet and hammer from the other side. The dealer or tire shop most likely used a mild adhesive. Honda always does.

It is rusted on. Remove the lugnuts and get the offending wheel/tire in the air and smack the tire a few times with a BFH. It will seem like it's not going to come off but it will eventually. To prevent this from happening again, apply some anti-seize to the hub surface after you get it off.

Take a hammer and smack it from the inside and hit the tire...not the rim. Kick it from the top. Soak it in WD40 from the inside. Should come off...
