dunno if anyone else has run into this problem or solution, but here it is anyway:
Aight, so the other night I had the brilliant idea of painting my rims a metallic lime gold...
turned out like dog poop - had to get rid of the paint.
So my next hassle was what to use to get the crappy paint off without ruining the plastic rims...
Viola!
Easy Off Oven Cleaner™, worked awesome, got all the paint off and didn't ruin the rims at all!
YAW!

actually no it ate that off too, as I wanted it too.
I really mangled those rims trying to smooth out the crevises with the x-acto knife.

Yo i figured sometin out. Axe, which is a deodorant, gets Sharpied off dem Plastic stuff. You gotta let it sit for like 10 secs, den rub it really hard wit a papa dowel. Do that conzecutivly undil da permanant marker comes off. Worked for me.

I was just removing some paint myself..
paint thinner works right down to the original surface.
(removing the stripes again on the HS2k, (yet again))

Glorias only come in the body sets. No pullback Glorias. Sorry

Yo payaso i mean that you can take off the body from the pullback and then smack on a green or gunmetal gloria, (toungetwista) and then its a pull back !

Sweet G... I think you'd be happier if you put the pullback wheels on a Gloria bit though. Either way, the Gloria is one hot ride.
