Need some advice on wheels

Got a set of iroc wheels from the local junkyard pretty rough looking bought some aerosal stripper from oreilys worked great on first wheel but the other three just won't strip and off I used some rusteleom aerosal stripper I had laying around(worthless) then moved on to some stripeze brush on let it set for a half hour still didn't do anything so need advice on what has worked best or if there's a stripper that will literally melt off this paint or should I just get them sandblasted

THIS STUFF IS AWESOME! I have used it for years. It has Methyl Ethyl Chloride in it. Causes Cancer and all that. NASTY Stuff, but works great. Get it at Lowes or HD

Another vote for using aircraft stripper though it's messy to use.
