Acetone is the stuff to use.

You can get 5L for about £20 on ebay (delivered).

(1) Decant some of the acetone into an ice cream tub (eat ice cream first).
(2) Cut the main part of the tyre off so just the bead is left.
(3) Drop into the acetone and leave for 24 hours.
(4) Remove the bead of the tyre
(5) Leave for another 24 hours to make sure all the glue has disolved.
(6) Remove from acetone and wash wheels in the sink with soapy water.

Make sure you keep the lid on the aceone when your wheels are soaking as it evaporates real quick.
