The hole in the centre of the wheel is a close fit on matching protrusion on the hub , water gets in between the two and they corrode. If that one was bad , it'd be best to take the rest of them off and clean them up .

It happens on many cars. Nothing to do with one make or another. Just if a wheel has not been removed off the disc / hub for ages sometimes they are bonded together. All they need is a bit of gentle persuasion or a belt/shock to loosen.
