I just picked up a set of 5zigen FN's and one of the wheels has the paint comming off..... i would like to strip it all off and get it repainted but what should i use to clean it off?

is this paint they use just a spray paint type or is it anodize? not sure what they use but i could wipe this paint off with my finger......

Paint stripper from Home Depot works fine. The aluminum finish is actually pretty nice. You should consider polishing instead of pait. As for paint, if you want it to remain, get it powder coated.
