I wouldn't use anything that has a corrosive warning on it. It's just not worth it. Read this thread:

I use it on the back side of the rims every 12 weeks or so where the soap and brush doesn't reach to get rid of the brake dust.

Haven't had a problem with the finish yet.

yea...i use corosive @!#$ on the back to shine it up....but on the front dont use it...i used to use the eagle1 stuff in the orange bottle...now i use stuff at work called mean green....but actually you can use anything that is a degreaser...like simple green, purple power...as long as it has no corossive stuff....and actually you can use a weak acid...just wash it off in like 5 sec or less so it doesnt eat the finish

i used the stuff, its great on old corroded aluminum rims, but for ones that are already shiny don't bother too harsh,

I've had good luck with simple green. Not nearly as harsh and does a decent job. If I remember right there's actually 2 kinds of Hot Rims cleaner. It should say on the back of the bottle what kind of wheels they are meant for. I've used Hot Rims before and never had a problem with my stock wheels. Mr. Clean also just came out with a wheel eraser. Might want to check that out as well.
