How do I remove foam tires offa the rims? The foams are the stock bolink dragster foams on the bolink rims. I bought this car used so I don't know how old they are.

I am pretty sure that you just need to buy the tires on the rims. i have never seen a pair of foam tires on sale without rims attached to them.

Soak them in a jar with laquer thinner (with a closed top)overnight.

I know ever here, we can buy foams non mounted. When I glue them to the rim I usually wrap masking tape around the rim first so the tyre sticks to the tape not the rim. That way when its time to remove them, all I need to do is cut off the old tyre and pull the tape off. As for removing them when they are glued to the rim, try what Rick said or use something like Eucalyptus oil and rub it in to them.
