Default ADVice on refinishing my Advans

I posted these a while ago and am planing to get them redone, but, thought Id save myself some cash and attempt it myself. If I [freak] up I could always take them to a pro or whatever.

Anyways I was wondering what ideas you guys had for getting into the crevis of the spokes and lip? I want to sand down the wheels first, but seeing as how theres no way a hand could fit in there, not sure how I could get into those areas. I may need to use paint stripper only for those areas.. but what do you guys think?

If you take them to a pro to get painted/powdercoated, chances are they will sandblast them first... That is how I would expect them to be able to get into the small area and get it clean...

If I were you and wanted to sand it myself, might try getting a thin painter's knife and wrap sand paper over the tip to attempt sanding in the crevice.
