Default removing black from stock mag rims

I'd like to remove the black paint or powder coating on my mag rims. Is there anything I can do to get these all aluminum color or maybe chromed?

Go to any auto parts store and pick up "Aircraft Remover." That will take it off but BE CAREFUL... it's pretty nasty if it gets on you! Protective gear is a must.

Another option is soda blasting. Check around your area for sandblast shops that offer soda blasting (baking soda). Soda is non-abrasive so it will only strip the finish but not etch or damage the aluminum.
