The lug nuts are glued to the rim prior to the race using a rubber cement type material. The material holds the the nut in place as the tire is installed but is weak enough to "break" as the nut is spun on.
With the car in park, break the lug nuts loose(only), then jack up the wheel and remove the lug nuts and rim. If the tire won't move. put a lug nut on half way and hit the backside of the tire/rim with a dead blow/ or rubber mallet. Don't hit the rim with a regular hammer, it will damage it.

I belive on Contours they just pop off. Use a screw driver to pry it from the rim. Some cars, use the lug nuts to help hold on the wheel cover. So, before you pry. Look to see if your lug nuts are exposed.(Don't confuse this with fake molded on lug nuts) Then, see if it looks like the wheel cover is between the lug nuts and rim. If not, pry them off. If the cover looks like its held on by the lug nuts you'll have to remove them. You'll have to jack up the car to do this. Just remember to "break" loose the lug nuts before you jack up the car.
A test to see if you can mount a rim and put lug nuts on in a certain amount of time.
