I tried to take some off of some fake 3 peice wheels, not happening. I found wrapping masking tape around the end of a pen the same size worked well. Defineatly strip them though if you can. The lip will look much better not under that beat up clear.

The wheels look pretty damn good though man. Thats not bad at all. I was looking at some similar blitz wheels for my talon, i'm pretty fond of that look.

I agree wit hthat, but I'm a little hesitant to mess with it. Would I just reapply the clear after stripping it or does it require more work than that?

I'm getting them put on this wed!! Hopefully all goes according to plans.....

I wouldn't even clear them personally. That way you can polish them every maybe 6 months. With clear, the same thing is going to happen again so i wouldn't recommend it. It's happened to me, restripped, much happier polishing them than restripping. Plus it's easier to fix the lip. That's my experience anyway.

Well, once I put them one I actually liked the way they look as is.... so for now, I'l probably just strip and polish the lip.
