yeah from my experiance stripping wheels. its best to use aircraft paint remover and a heat gun. ....heat gun to slightly heat the wheel then apply the paint remover and it stripps better . :) just my 2cents..

i've heard something on, "most" or "all", rotas, are "polished" underneath the finish. I had a set of sub zero's, and stripped them, and there were shiny polished underneath.
