old paint can act as primer, just sand it and paint over it like everyone else is telling you. you dont need to strip them all...unless you want no paint on it whatsoever.

DO NOT SAND.
2 cans of Aircraft paint remover from the auto parts store.
spray on till you cant see the wheels anymore, let it sit for no less than 30 min and rise with a hose, make sure you wear long pants and shoes. the shit will burn your feet and legs.

Can you spray on the paint remover on the wheels with the tires still on if I tape over or cover the tires somehow?

Paint stripper will work but you gotta be careful with some of them because they do more then just strip the paint they might F* up your wheels too.. but that's only if you get like the most powerful kind.
