If your wheels are resin, I'll second the lacquer thinner treatment to remove enamel paint.  It works great and won't damage the resin.  It'll wreck styrene so never use it on that...  I also thin my enamel paints with lacquer thinner.  It works a helluva lot better than mineral/white spirits and is WAY cheaper than Testor's thinner/brush cleaner.  It also has the benefit of making the enamel paint flow much smoother with less thinner (at least that's my experience with it).  No ill affects whatsoever.  Just don't ever put paint thinned with lacquer thinner back into the bottle (as most of us probably already know), as it'll ruin the rest of the bottle...eventually.  You'll be left with a semi-solid bottle of goo which is absolutely useless.  I wouldn't recommend using it on acrylic paints of any kind without experimentation first.
