I agree that it's not just after market rims I've experienced this with factory alloys rims as well.
This is what I've found , the center hole of the rim that sits on the hubs have a very close fit. The hubs are steel and get a build up of rust that doesn't allow the wheel to slide off.
Once you get the wheel off , take sand paper or a wire wheel and polish the center hub to remove the build up , then apply a thin coating of grease to the freshly cleaned area. This will prevent the rust build up .
I install winter tires mounted on after market steel rims every year and following this proceedure everytime have never had this problem since.
