Pain remover, I do not think so. Do not use paint remover ,try rubbing compound and you will be fine.

Try your local hardware store for some paint cleanup stuff. It will wipe away latex paint but will not harm automotive finishes.

Yeah paint remover can damage the coating on your rims and just make thigns worse. So was the can just rolling around in the street?

I agree. But- do you have the SE rims that have the clear coat glaze over them, or do you have the one that feels unfinished? My 97 has the glazed ones, while my aunts and my friend's 98s both have the unfinished ones. It'll be easier for you to do with the glazed ones.
