Looking for a good stripper to remove the black paint off of 911 style fuchs. Brand name/specific solution name and source would be helpful.

Any tips on the process would help too since I have never done anything like this. I would like to avoid standing back and saying "Dang, I shouldn't have done that".

Had my wheels done by a place called Wheel Techniques in Campbell. California ( Their Site http://www.wheeltechniques.com ) They do the best work I have seen and can even make wheels from scratch. I have known the owner just about as long as he has been in business. Here is a link to a pic on their site that shows some porsche wheels he has done:

I had my 15x7s and 15x8s totally redone. Stripped, polished and painted. Left the spokes and rim polished as per the older porsche look. He charges about $135 a wheel for the complete process. No muss, no fuss, no inhaliing fumes. Don't know how much they would be to ship.

There is also Wheel Connection in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The guys from Lindsey racing do wheels during the day so the can race their Porsches. Lindsey racings site here

Here are some pics of some Fuchs they made:
