Need help to remove paint from motocross wheels

As the title suggest, I need some info in removing the paint off of some Warp9 motocross rims. I got a smoking deal off of ebay and a friend, but as luck would have it, one is black, the other is blue. The rims are painted and the paint comes off fairly easy, but I like the polished aluminum look. Can I just use a general paint stripper and take it off that way?

Also, if anyone has a spare set of wheels that they want to get rid of, let me know. 2008 YZ450

Try getting them soda blasted, then polish them with your choice of abrasive and a polishing wheel on a drill.
