Those are the right wheels. From what I've read, the adhesive is a pain in the ass to get off. Maybe have them blasted? Then polished.

Fixed your thread title.

Niice. I almost bought a set a couple of years ago that I was gonna declad, but decided against it. Kinds wish I had picked them up, although they were way overpriced lol

If I did them now, I'd do the ones you got. I had never seen any of them decladded back when I was gonna buy those other ones. The ones you got look great decladded.

I have a friend that has high pressure power spray business I wonder if that would work? He can power spray paint off metal so I figured the glue and foam wouldn't be hat bad

Did you try aircraft remover yet? I didn't read the thread so if if you said you did I don't care

Haven't gotten the wheels yet but I have seen people talk about that, when I get the wheels I'll try the pressure wash first and aircraft remover next

My cousin has a set of the 5 spoke decladded wheels. He never got around to polishing them and ending up buying the tbss wheels. All the foam and glue is off but the wheels have some chip marks from when he used a screwdriver to pry off the plastic. He won't sell them to me, I've already tried.
