3M Adheasive Remover. Let it sit for a while. The glue will come right off!

after you do the removal, clean up the wheels and put at least one coat of synthetic protection on them-
anything that will take off the tape glue will take off any protection that you might have on your wheels

I use WD-40 or lighter fluid (naptha) to remove adhesive from the wheels.

The wheels are clearcoated so just wax them like you would the paint.

On my Ap2 chrome wheels...

I use paint thinner and a little 4x4 terry cloth towel
5-10 seconds of soaking and rub back and forth, comes right off
rince with soap and water right away

I remove the wheels from the car, 20 minutes total time
