I have a 528I BMW that I'm selling tomorrow that has wheel weight adhesive on the visible part of the rim. Any quick and easy way to get it off? It seems to be an issue for the buyer.

I use WD-40. Apply liberally with a rag, wait 5 min and wipe gently.

Thanks for the reply...that worked well on three of the four. The fourth one I had to resort to mineral spirits and a Scotch Brite pad followed by Mothers Wheel Polish. Good as new.

How easy is it to get our cars lowered 1 or 2 inches?
