yea this has been covered many many times.
PM steedracer. i think he's done enough wheels, he could do a set blindfolded and they would probably come out damn near perfect.

Step 1: Strip the paint with Aircraft paint remover.
Step 2: Sand like a bitch. Start with 400 grit sandpaper and move your way up through 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and if you want a real nice polish go with 2000 grit.
Step 3: Get some polish compound, throw on a polishing pad and polish it away.

I could get into more detail, but you get the point. And I'm sure if you search google or even HT you'd get a good write up.

^^ Werd. If you've never polished anything before, wheels aren't the best thing to start with lol.
