sandblasting them? (is the best way I know of)
or if you are after doing it at home sandpaper and a bit of time?

Theres an unbranded version of this that works well, it's a red tin with "paint and varnish stripper" on. Not sure if that's the name or whether there's a brand
nitromors has gone down hill due to new laws on such products

Wear gloves if your using Nitromors as it tends to burn the skin.

Take them and have the professionally dipped, then lightly sand blasted......and i mean lightly you dont want a billy with a blower else they will be pitted to hell. Everything else you will be waiting your time with, if you dont have them dipped and just sand blasted, they will be heavily pitted as they will use a corse compound to do it quickly.

How the hell can paint stripper take chunks out of the aluminium? it cant.
my mate used nitromors on a set of BMW alloys, left it on for a while. when he took it off small pieces of ali came off with it. FACT
just because you haven't heard of it happening before doesnt mean it cant. i dont take lightly to someone that doesnt even know me to call me a liar.
maybe so, i only mentioned it as a precaution for others as it would be s**t if your beloved wheels where fucked because of paint stripper! how are you to know what lies under paint if they are used...
i thought car forums where so people could share and discuss, not murder someone when they suggest or share something. even if you do think you know it all.
(this is not aimed at ANYONE in particular! just my view)

You quoted my post so I would very much assume it was aimed at me.
But paint stripper will not remove chunks of metal from your wheel unless previously repaired.
Anyway, sanding the original lacquer away and re priming over the original paint will give a good finish.
liar, liar, bums on fire
