interesting,i have a pair that have been painted too.
nitromors should be ok as long as you dont leave it on too long and wire wool it off as soon as the paint pickles.
i am gonna try it tomorrow!

Holy sh!t - who paints a wheel like that ?  :shocked:

Looks like you've got you're work cut out there mate - you could try a heat gun paint stripper but i don't think they'd run true when you were done !

Use a hard plastic or even hard wood scraper, wont damage the tuff.
Also paint stripper shouldnt be a problem, put the stripper on the paint in small areas, wait for it to soften then a quick scrape and everything will be ok. Its the temptation to walk away and leave it for half an hour where things go wrong.
