Default Adhesive Removal

I'm looking to remove adhesive that was left on my wheels from the weights (used for balancing). I did a search and found a few solutions for adhesive removal: Zenit, WD-40, and 3M adhesive remover. Are any (or all) of these safe on anodized wheels? Also, where do I buy Zenit? I did a quick Google and couldn't find anything describing what it was or where to find it.

Edit: I just found Zenit. They either changed the name or it was mistyped, it goes by Xenit.

your wheels are clearcoated and all of your suggestions are fine-
soak the adhesive and let it sit until it is well soaked before trying the removal- prob will take a few tries to get it all...

You could also try goof-off or goo be gone (cant remember the correct name). I used it to remove the side emblems on the S.
