Wouldn't be putting any of the 'spirits' mentioned in this post intentionally near a bike, IPA is the only thing listed which has any real use as a cleaner, but it's not great for rims.
There are products made specifically to clean rims like this
Chain Reaction Cycles | MTB | Road | TRI | Run (I know this is OOS), or you can go to a hardware store, and buy a generic very cheaply like this
