It shouldn't make a difference unless if it was anodized but thats highly unlikely. How did you try to do it?

Did you do it in direct sunlight and let it sit??? Is it over 60 degrees by you?

Man, that's strange. Got any up closepictures of the rim? Also did you apply the stripper pretty thick?

Sunlight is a major factor in it, try doing it in the sun

It's not powdercoated, is it? I heard that it has a difficult time with powdercoat (so I've heard.)
