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

RE: rims

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

RE: rims

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