I think you're the one that needs to stop

I'm not positive whether the wheel paint is baked on or not, but I still wouldn't use brake cleaner on my wheels, even just on the barrels

OP, heat it up with a hairdryer or heat gun as mentioned. Then take a plastic panel removal tool or hard plastic edge (an old credit card can work sometimes) and scrape off as much of the adhesive as possible. Work slowly and deliberately. For the last bit, use a cloth and some isopropyl alcohol (highest percent you can find - 90% min).
