Default GSR Wheels

I just bought some factory GSR blades for my girlfriend's civic, but they are painted gunmetal. What are some good ways to strip off all the paint without scratching the wheels?

aircraft stripper will take it off for sure. but it will probably take off any finish that comes on the wheels from the factory,

Yes, it will take the paint right off, but it will also take the clear coat right off.

Thanks for the help. Where could I get some aircraft stripper. If I can get all the paint off and the wheels look good under the paint i will spray clear on them, otherwise I will just paint them a lighter silver color maybe.
