there is someone over at ls1tech.com that had excellent results that used paint stripper to get the clear off then just buffed them and recleared them. The WS6 wheels i seen that were done were completly amazing. search stripped ws6 wheels on ls1tech.com i have torques on my red gp but trust me its about to change cuz their never shiny enough for me! BTW no you dont need to take the tires off when using the stripper just hose them off good.
