So an update from me.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I did try some of the solvent ideas (WD40, petrol, IPA etc..) and tried scraping it first but I didn't have a lot of luck (or maybe I haven't got a lot of patience....) Anyway, I decided to try one of these rubber wheels. So I bought something called a "Whizzy wheel" from Amazon for about a tenner. It takes a bit of playing with to find the right techniques, but it removed all the adhesive with no fuss. There were at least 3 sections of old weight adhesive on each wheel and some sections were about 5 inches long. The Whizzy wheel came through the letterbox from Amazon at 7pm and by 7.30pm the wheels were finished. So a good quick solution and it doesn't seem to have affected the surface of the alloys.

Ah, yes, sorry it is actually called a "Wonder Wheel". Whizzy Wheel gives kids books.
