IMO, red wheels might not look good. You might want to search in the appearance formula to see if someone else might have red wheels so you can see what they look like.

a friend of mine had some fat fives that some nimrod painted white... he used paint remover to take the paint off and they look brand new... if the overspray is really light i would try it with a very small amount of remover on a cloth and see what happens before you do all of them
