lol your wheels are still covered with old glue you need to get off. just dump enough acetone in the container so the bead facing down is fully submerged and wait 12 hours. flip over and wait another 12 hours. you might have to clean up the wheels a little but but take a paper towel soaked in acetone and wipe away.
Does the method damage the rubber of the tyres? Just wondering if this could be used to rescue a badly glued but new set of wheels/tyres (i.e. so they can be removed and re-glued).
had reglued tyres on new rims becaus the old cracked that got a bath in acetone and dont see a problem with the tyres in this case its loise tyres for a traxxas slash so depending on the rubber compaund some tyres can handle it.
DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THEM.! I recently made the mistake of putting 4 wheels & tyres in overnight & forgot about them, when I finally remembered 4 days later, all that was left were 4 tyres sitting in a pool of white plastic sludge.! 😉 😉 😂 😂 It was super weird stuff too, it was a pliable sticky thick liquid paste that solidified back into hard plastic as the acetone evaporated.. It's got me wondering if it would be any good for repairing broken parts.!?

Also, is that a Gu Cheesecake pot? think I have a bunch of them myself ;)
Couldn't guarantee they will perform as well as a brand new set. But they are round and rubber and better than nothing!
Very good chance that it is!
Cheers, I think I’ll give it a try because I have a couple of tyres where they would end up having to be replaced anyway just due to the bad glueing.

Oh no! Sounds like you had one of the wheel materials that is not safe to use with acetone.
Problem is it ruins the rubber. Not much point unless the wheels are still new
The whole point is to be able to reuse the wheels after the tires wear out🥴
