Picked up some GTA wheels.

Got a deal CL that I couldn't pass up. That being said, I don't own a GTA so i'm not sure what i'll do with them. For now I plan on stripping them and restoring them. When finished I may use them on my 89 IROC, sell them or trade for a set of 88-89 IROC wheels. I would welcome some suggestions on a good clear coat stripper and I would like to know if the backside of the wheel came in bare aluminum or paint matched from the factory?

Re: Picked up some GTA wheels.

Did you re-clear them or just polish them out? Are the backsides painted or aluminum?
