So I stripped the wheels down and have just a little bit left, problem is that I cant get the rest of the glue off thats in between the machine marks. i like the colour of the wheel so i dont plan on powder coating the wheels at all. whats a good way to remove the rest of the glue? Ive tried aircraft paint stripper, acetone, and denatured alcohol. any insight would be much appreciated.

Heres the wheels as it sits. You can see some glue on the lip and near the bolt holes.

Have you tried a rubber eraser wheel?

There often used to remove adhesive left behind from tape by mouldings or emblems.

Some auto parts stores sell them to remove pinstripes.

the finish of mine was pretty rough by the time i got the foam all off. would probably not even be noticable from around 20 feet, but it drove me crazy. SO i'm bead blasting them and powdercoating them bronze. done haha
