Is the sticky material on the tire/rim itself, or on the well in the car? I`m assuming it`s on the well, and that it`s tar.



Here`s a link (http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=72306&highlight=tar)



Basically I think they recommend chiseling it, or freezing it and then chipping it off.



You could then use a bug and tar remover to get the excess off. If you can post pictures or describe the sticky material more it would help us help you:xyxthumbs



Good luck.

Cool. Car manufacturers use tar to deaden sound/vibration from where the different pieces of steel and stuff connect. Hopefully someone else can comment about removing it though. I`ve heard of using dry ice to freeze it but never tried it.

dry ice can do wonders for caked on chewing gum, so i imagine it would work great on tar as well. plus if you have any left you can make **** go boom!

Why remove it? They put it there for a reason ;) If your not liking the color of it simply grab your favorite color of rattle can and make it match anything you want. If it`s in your spare tire well who cares. No one will ever see it. Couldn`t tell you how many customers have had me repaint their trunks to match. It`s simple and works great. And for the record if you have access to a shop vac and a air nozzle (w/ air compressor) you can very easily soak the crap out of your trunk space all you want to get it as clean as possible. Never be afraid to try something new.
