Default Painted wheels, seeking other advice on how to remove paint
I bought an 05 SRT-4 about a year ago and the guy who owned the car before me painted the wheels what looks like a flat greyish/black color. I would like to remove the paint so I can paint the wheels the way I want to and also with a glossy black paint, any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks....
