I recently got my hands on some raptor wheels, but the previous owner painted them grey and did a really amateur job.

My question is what is the best way to remove the paint and return the tires to a stock look? Media blasting? Aircraft paint stripper?

Thanks!

Well, as much as I hate to answer my own question...I think I'm going to media blast the tires really well and then get a satin black powder coating.

I was thinking about powder coating mine silver till they wanted 150 each
If you're going to powder coat them just ask how they want them cleaned you might save youre self some money.
If youre going to paint youreself just sand the bad spot's smooth an scuff the rest an wip down with rubbing alcohol.

A local shop said they could strip, blast, and powder coat all four for $375. So I may go that route.
