Restoring wheels
hey guys, i've got a few wheels here i want to restore, i've tried polishing the lips and that and it turned out ok. I'm having some trouble with the centers. i found it meshies are hard to sand down to paint.
whats the best way to restore centers, paint stripper or sandpaper and fingers, or is there any other products out there that i can use.

i just took off one center and it came off quite easy, but second wasnt too easy, nearly rounded 2 hex bolt that holds the center. the 10mm nut at the back aint that easy too. any ideas?
