Just chain lubed my rear rim...
Sooooo feel free to make fun but let me get at least 1 or 2 good tips on how to get this shit off my wheel plz. K thanks.
Used Motul chain lube and tried car soap and water and even some harsher wheel cleaner with a scrub brush, no luck so far. Maybe should have let that cleaner sit on the wheel for longer...

Just use some rags and some WD40. The WD40 will take it right off.

"Orange" or "Goop" hand cleaner and degreaser is what I always use to get grease off of painted rims. I'm paranoid about ruining the paint and in many years of using it I have found it to be a good (safe) compromise.
While it takes a little bit of work to rub the area, I've found that the piece of mind from now having to worry about damaging the finish is worth a bit of extra work.
Wax your rims. It will make it easier, in the future, to get any crap off of them.

Chain cleaner
WD 40 should work fine. What do you use to clean your chain?
Kerosene should also take it off.

Also<
Ronson lighter fluid in the small square can work extremely well and hurts nothing.
Most chain lubs have WHALE SPERM in them,,,very sticky stuff.
