i think your pretty safe using nitromors but not 100% so wait for someone else to confirm but i'm pretty sure it won't touch the wheels natural colour

Cheers guys for the fast responses, was thinking nitromors,just wondered whether it would have adverse effect on the plastic surface.

You can get water based citric paint strippers now, they may be a bit gentler on the mags. Not tried it myself but its pretty easy to get hold of. I think b&q may even do it  :daumenhoch:

I use the cheap paint stripper from wilkos, it does the job but is quite mild. Should be better than  a very strong stripper :daumenhoch:

If the wheels have just been sprayed using a rattlecan, nitro will rip it off, just do small sections at a time and don't allow it to dry, strip then was the area with warm soapy water.  :daumenhoch:
