I have fought many a battle with these rims and axles, and what I can say is that all that has been said above is good advice. Penetrating oil takes forever and may not penetrate far enough, beating will break something, heat will ruin your seals, cutting destroys your wheel. What I did was fabricate myself this puller and used in conjunction with oil and a little bit of heat the wheel comes off eezy peezy.
I can't make out any holes in your picture of you rims but drill some or maybe weld some studs in there. Make sure that if you use any kind of puller, leave the axle bolt loosely in the hole so that you don't muck up the threads.
And the advice about cleaning and anti-seize, ABSOLUTELY!
