Overspray. A claybar will get it off.

Sounds like you need to clay bar the wheels

No risk with new claybar

Claybars are great. Think of it as playdough when you were younger. As you wipe an area down, keep playing with the bar to get the dirt toward the inside and give the car the fresh side. Use soapy water to keep the area moist. Great for tar, bugs, etc.

Happens often with claybarring especially if you didn't wash the car first or if the paint was heavily contaminated. You can try a hand polish, but running a buffer with polish, then a hand wax would be best.
