Default acetone and black rims

Question,I just got a set of rims/tires and put them on the car, and noticed that inside the rims are glue. I know acetone is good on removing glue, but I was wondering if it would harm the paint on the rims. I tried WD40, but that didn't really help much. Any suggestions?

Do not use acetone on your rims if they are painted. You run a high risk of striping the paint off. If anything try useing bug and tar remover. Or go to rour local auto store and ask for sugjestions. You dont want ruin the rims. Good luck.

no acetone on ANYTHING!!!! they will ruin painted objects, plastic, and pretty much anything on your car. WD40 and use alot and let it sit, then get rough and get the stuff off. or use Goo-Gone, that stuff great.

Glue?
Goof-Off or
GooGone or
somesort of glue remover
but NOT acetone.
You might want to wax the black part and leave the
wax on while cleaning the glue to keep any adhesive
solvent from getting on the painted surfaces.
WD-40 might work, but dont get it on you for
any length of time or it will absorb into the skin.

Lighter fluid works great.
