Use some acetone (fingernail polish remover), should come right off though it may need to soak a while. The only thing i would worry about is if they are chrome plated, it may damage or remove the chrome.

CA glue is the same as Superglue which people use acetone to dissolve

X3 on the Acetone. I used acetone over the weekend to dismount and clean up 13 tires  . I used a small metal dish that is just a small diameter bigger than the tire. The dish was only 1 inch deep. I sat outside and just took my time. I only soaked one side at a time. I was more concerned with the tires. I did not care about the rims. By soaking one side of the rim & tire at a time, I actually saved some of the foams. If you completely immerse the tire, it will go much faster, but the foam will be completely ruined. The small metal dish is actually a mechanics dish that has a large magnet on the bottom to hold bolts when working on a car. I only filled the dish once, as to not waste the acetone. I also had a sharp Xacto knife to cut anything that was too stubborn. I spent some time doing it, but I did do 13 tires at one sitting. Also, out of the 13, only one ripped a small section of a bead. The tires are now nice & clean and ready to be mounted. They have no junk foam, left over glue and anything to keep them from making a clean, tight bead against the next rim they will be installed on. I am thinking the next rims will be bead locks though. |
