Re: Paint on wheels
General house paint whether its acrylic or enamel will eventually come off tyres over a short time.
So long as there isn't too much on the side wall of the tyre.

Re: Paint on wheels
If it was chrome paint, I'd leave it
Can you imagine driving around with chrome tyres
Seriously though, you'll be OK as house paints come off easily and you could have used terbs on the wheels to wipe them clean. Just make sure that none of the paint is stuck to the body of the car.

Re: Paint on wheels
It is not advisable to use the turpentine on the tyres as it deteriorates rubber. Especially since some "turps" bottles are actually filled with a petroleum-based solvent.
Any cleaner you use on the tyres to remove the paint should be washed off completely with very soapy warm-hot water to remove all traces of it.

Re: Paint on wheels
If it is only the treads you want to get the paint out of then you might be able to get a wire brush to it.
