I want to hang my bikes in the garage from the rafters. Tri bike, road bike, mtn bike. Will it hurt the rims to hang them on a hook by just the rear wheel?

Perfectly safe to do. Only thing to watch out for is if your rims are non-structural carbon fairings (HED JET, Mavic Cosmic Carbone, etc.), then the weight of the bike may damage the fairing.

Hung all my bikes from the rafters in my tiny house. Something like this is cheap and worked perfectly: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=17157736

Aluminum will stress-creep, so make sure you at least rotate the wheels every 50 years or so...

I use one of these for my mountain bikes and they work great:
