If it was a dog, you would use (BTW: I've found this works well on dogs):
- 1 quart (or liter) of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, H2O2.
Use fresh (unopened) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide eventually turns into water (H2O). - 1/4 cup (50 ml.) of Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml.) of Liquid Soap
- 1 pair of plastic or latex gloves
I believe it's call "time removes all smells"

Unfortunately I have a good bit of expertise in this area. I grew up on a farm, and for some reason the skunks liked our house. The worst episode involved a skunk spraying extensively underneath our house. We had to leave the house for several weeks the smell was so bad. We used ammonia to get rid of the skunk and the smell on that occasion, as well as several others. I actually was called to the principal's office at school and was asked to leave because I smelled like skunk so bad that I was causing a distraction.

Thank You all for the "tips" I washed out the wheel area and left it out over night, the other 3 tires did'nt like that, and found almost no odor this morning. I did warn my fine service writer. Then they gave me an "S" and sent me on my way. Steve it's a good thing I don't own an "S" or I'd need bail money every week. LOL
I pick up my baby friday morning, and return the "other women" to the dealer.
Cheers, Dustin
