Default any TIPS ON REMOVING CHROME OFF RIMS !

i want strip the chrome off the ENTIRE wheel, and then paint it ALL black. im not sure as to how to strip off the chrome, and i dont know what the wheel is made of, its the stern st2. im going to take a magnet and see if its steel or metal, because its heavy as hell with the tire on it. so im pretty sure theres different ways going about removing the chrome depending on what material the rims are, steel, alumininum, metal, etc.

i was thinking of buying VHT wheel primer and VHT wheel paint from metrorestyling.com to paint it entirely black. EXCEPT leave the tiny screws that you see around the inner lip either chrome or paint it red.

i want the whole thing black, these pics shows the chrome that i have, not my pics btw, mine are chipping and are old n a bit of rust. these are just examples, ant the other pic has black spokes.

so any tips on removing chrome off wheels and painting wheels will be appreciated, thankz
