I used it on sv fork lowers to no ill effect. A cast alloy part same as wheels.

Maybe someone else can shed light on why not to use it?

I've used nitromorse on the SV wheels to not much effect, had to get some proper badass stripper to get the paint off the rims for polishing.

I would say Gunk engine desgreaser.

Stripped a layer paint and polish from a caliper with it

Get it done me old. Just make sure that you wash it off properly when you have finished, or it will tarnish the alloy.
