It is similar to oven cleaner, in that it is caustic (alkaline), but stronger I believe. Mag wheel cleaner is usually an acid base which can be harder on the alloy. I suppose you could try a small bit of each to work out which is the most effective in removing the paint without destroying the metal (& your fingers !!). Dr Terry.

Wear gloves (and glasses can't hurt, as paint brushes can splash bits at you when you are applying it.) Stating the obvious I know!!!!!!!!!!!!
