Use the aircraft stripper or remover or whatever the hell it's called. You can get it at a local parts store and then buy some Duplicolor High Temp Engine Enamel

Yeah it will strip the stock ****. use a paint brush and apply it evenly over the entire wheel. Let it sit for about 30 minutes then spray off with a garden hose. You might have to repeat it about two or three times before most of it comes off. Might also have to sand a little to make everything look even before painting. I didn't use a primer on mine and they turned out damn good.

you don't need aircraft stripper for them unless the stock silver is coming off the rims already. Just scuff them up and buy some duplicolor primer and wheel paint and paint them. be sure to let the coats dry and lightly scuff them between coats. I did that to mine and the paint has held up great for 2 years of driving on them in all weather.
