BBS RS032 (dream come true) =)
Rustoleum aircraft finish remover. Used about a can maybe a tiny bit more for the two faces and the two green waffle caps front back and the threads lug holes etc.
It works great for spray paint, it is time consuming though to get each nook and cranny covered with a thin layer so it just doesn't drip off. 100% worth it though! If weaves have the same factory paint as these you should be left with a nice factory finish. $13 a can at Walmart + gloves and tooth brushes. I already had gloves, but you will probably need at least 10 gloves. If you get too much stripper on them they start to deteriorate and the stripper gets through to your skin and starts to feel weird (nothing crazy but no bueno). It's really not a lot before they start bubbling, at least for nitrile gloves which I use.
I got a 6 pack of medium toughness toothbrushes for $1 total at walmart as well. It's worth getting a paint mask thing too if you don't have one. Washing the stripper off the wheels makes it really fumey and I would not be too comfortable cleaning the wheels off without a face mask on unless I was outside with a hose. During the actual brushing I wasn't always wearing mine and I didn't really notice any fumes, but it definitely reacts with HOT water especially. Cold water congeals it, a lukewarm mix is good.
