How to remove paint from wheel that got on from a road.

Today was my worst luck. There was a stream of paint spilled on the highway today and i coudln't avoid the lane since there were cars next to me, so i ran over it and it got on one of my wheel.

What product will you recommend to remove it? Its covering half my wheel/tire with white paint.

If it's latex paint rubbing alcohol should soften it up enough to get it off.

Also could try 3m Fine Cut polishing compound if the clay bar doesn't get it.

If you have OE wheels I'd use paint thinner but only if your wheels are cool. I don't see anything else working that won't damage your wheels. Clay bar is for surface crud on painted surfaces not for removing paint. Good Luck with this....welcome to nightmare 101!
