I'm probably over dramatizing this, but all was instantly well once I got rid of the rings. What a PITA it was however, even heating them up the adhesive with the heat gun didn't help much! All that worked was a ton of scrubbing and lots of goop-off.

Was the ring some sort of stick-on? It looks painted or chromed on and blends in fairly well with the rest of the finish on the wheel - there isn't any hard transition that makes me think it was stuck on.
I actually don't mind having the ring on my platinum finish - hopefully, the rim of the wheels won't take too much of a beating during tire changes. I believed that was the intent of the ring - to prevent the wheel finish from getting marred during tire changes.
