Man it's a bitch, I used Aircraft Stripper. 1 coat took off the paint from the smooth spokes, 2nd coat completely cleaned spokes and got most of the the paint out of the triangles, lug nut holes, and slots between the spokes. 3rd coat got 97.492579437% of everything gone, and i used a steel brush/screwdriver to clean the rest off. About 2 and a half hours total time from jacking my car up, using the stripper (waiting 15 minutes between coats for it to work) and just some good old elbow grease. Needless to say, this thing looks GOOD, even just raw aluminum it looks great compared to what it used to.

Some sanding and mothers and my wheels are gonna look sweet. After they are done, should I take them to a paintshop to clear them?

 

congrats, 1 down 3 more to go, this weekend i am gunna be doing mine also. the time u put into this is well worth it at the end! post a pic when u get the finish look
