Wheel weights
 

Does anybody know how to get the glue off the wheel from the wheel weights?

I had a tire replaced today due to a nail, or rather my dealer replaced a tire today due to a nail. They gave me 3 a three year tire warrenty for paying for the glass etching for theft when I bought the car. Anyway they found the nail and replaced the tire (that paid for the glass etching in one shot).

They had to take the tire to another place (don't know where) to get it replaced because the didn't have the right tire and didn't have a tire machine big enough to do the job. When it got back they had removed and replaced several of the wheel weights which had been glued down orginally. Well now I have all this sticky crud gathering dirt attached to the wheel.

Anythought or suggestions. I don't want to ruin the wheel trying to clean this crap off.

Thanks for the help.

Goof Off or a little gasoline on a rag should do it.

what are the wheel weights for anyhow? i noticed a bunch of little rectangular things things on the inside of the rim, like a row of em on each wheel. are those them?

Goo Gone.

Yes those are the weights. There are a lot of them usually opposite the Valve stem, due to the weight of the tire pressure monitor system. They are used to balance the wheel/tire.

its to balanced the wheels so that they r perfectly weighted, like a perfect circle. wheels and tires r imperfect and may have extra or less weight in some areas so wheel weights r needed.
