You can purchase a wheel cleaner from a detailer site such as https://www.autogeek.net/tire-wheel-cleaners.html with a strong enough cleaner it usually melts the stuff away. If im not mistaken they are acid based cleaners that really get the job done

Hell if that doesnt do it, grab some lacquer thinner and a rag and it will remove that real quickly
