Usa a hair dryer or heat gun on LOW then slowly peel off use wd40 to remove glue voila done.

Two products will work. "Goof Off" and "Goo B Gone". I wouldn't recommend using it on painted rims, just in case. I have used both on factory coated wheels to get the sticky gunk off from ballance weights.

That shits made to stick. When I put mine on I used soapy water in a spray bottle. Use a hair dryer like everyone else said. It'll be a slooooooiow process. They got this stuff its called either goo begone or glue begone. Check a walmart maybe. Also not sure if you want to use it and then scrub the hell out of it but lighter fluids good for that. Watch out it may be like paint thinner. Also could start a fire. I do not advise. If you do use lighter fluid hve a camcorder ready haha!
