Removing Wheel Weight Adhesive
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to remove the wheel weight adhesive left behind after having the wheels rebalanced. I am trying not to damage the finish on the rims in the process.

I had that mess on a set of BBS rims on a BMW 540. I used mineral spirits and a shop rag. I finished it off with a clay bar to blend the satin finish. Take your time..it WILL eventually come off.

Removing Weights
I realize that this response is delayed, but I am having the same issue. I did some digging and Oil Flo Safety Solvent/Degreaser has been recommended quite a bit. It comes in a 16 oz Pump Spray. I just ordered it from Car Care Specialties (http://www.carcareonline.com/detail....oduct_id=11001)
I'll let you know how it works. However, I assume you must have removed the adhesive by now...
