If the wheels still have their original anodized finish, you can safely use any normal paint stripper on them. The anodizing will not be affected by stripper.

Jasco stripper at Lowes / Home Depot works well.

The original anodizing is tough stuff, and I can't think of a petrochemical that might hurt it. Acids will etch and stain it, and bases will tend to soften or remove it.
