Old school Proline wheels, what plastic are they?
I have a few of these wheels with old tires on them but was wondering what plastic they are before i put them in the acetone vapor container and have them melt into a puddle of goo.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

I have put older Pro-line wheels in acetone to remove glue and paint without any issues.

Do you submerge them or suspend them above in a sealed container?juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 9:49 pm I have put older Pro-line wheels in acetone to remove glue and paint without any issues.

Bottom one submerged, top in vapor area. Swap every now and then.
That set of wheels was in pretty rough condition, so it took some time to get them cleaned up.

Are you saving the tires or not?

If you're not saving them, cut them off then soak in acetone as it's much quicker.
