Tried to take the stickers off my rims. How to get the rest off?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

OP; Peanut butter and a stiff terry towel will often do the job. Will also get bubble gum out of the kids hair!

I think that I would pay extra for cycling companies to NOT put the biggest and brightest branding logo on their products.
The worse are carbons wheels manufactures. I like that 3T Cycling has a "stealth" logo option

I had an American classic rear rebuilt with a new AC350 rim after I dented the previous rim in a pothole. Wheels now had different logos - cloth, acetone and a lot of elbow grease got the branding off both wheels.

The hairdryer method really goes a long way towards mitigating the amount of effort required.
