You might try Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. I have seen videos of it being used and it appears it works very well.

Permatex 80646 Gasket Remover will strip clear off of wheels.  Comes in a Blue Aerosol can.

This is what I used on these wheels to get the clear off.

Use paint stripper and then use Mothers Mag aluminum or chrome polish. It works well if you use a foam drill attachment to polish it, doing it by hand will take a long time and will be very tedious
