For the hobbiest DIY'ers that want to tackle clear coat removal--I'd suggest to remove wheels, take to a tire shop and dismount the tires. You will get stripper on the tires if left in place on the rims and won't have access to the bead flange surface.
Another thing to know about aluminum: as soon as raw aluminum is exposed to air, it begins to oxidise. The valiant efforts to remove a barrier coating may afford the whole rim to start oxidising again if left untreated.
