Default How do I get wheel paint off tires?

I recently sprayed my rims with the Duplicolor Wheel Coating. Unfortunately, the tires weren't thoroughly masked and some of the stuff got on the tires. How do I get this off? I've heard it comes off eventually, but I want it off asap. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, what would I put the Thinner or Gasoline on to apply it (sponge, rag, etc.)? Where can I pick up some Thinner?

anywhere that sells paint. Did you use index cards to keep the paint off the tires? If not, I highly suggest it next time.

yeah, use any kind of paint thinner, or laquer thinner. and to stay away from further paint on your tires, get your rims powdercoated.
