Are you wheels coated.

I believe you said brand new wheels. I would do deep wheel clean....then coat your wheels if you haven't. It does add just a -smidge- more gloss to satin. What color is the wheel ?

IME, coated wheels - I use leftover car shampoo. Every once in awhile, I'll hit the wheels with Iron cleaner (after cleaning my wheels) with shampoo just to see if I will get purple. ZERO purple with the Iron Cleaner......

I only use the Iron Cleaner about 3-4 times a year per car. Once when taking off summer wheels for the deep wash for storage. Second when taking off winter wheels - same deep wash for storage.. The other 2 are just mid-interim wheel washes during the summer season. And usually those 2 mid-interim washes.....zero purple...I just use it to give me the warm fuzzy feeling of doing best practice, going the extra mile.

Just because it's bleeding purple....IMO, wheel cleaner cleans better on wheels than a Iron Dissolving Cleaner.
