Removing wheel paint

Sooo.... the ******* who owned my car before me had the stock wheels painted black. While I like them black, he, or whoever he paid to do it, did a really bad job. Where the paint is coming off, you can see that the wheels were not sanded or primered. Not only that, but they painted over the balancing weights and then the wheels were re-balanced somewhere along the line, so there are nice silver weight shaped marks on all four wheels as well.

I'd like to get the paint off, but I'd prefer not to sand as I'd like to return them to stock without ruining the finish. Is there something that I can use to remove the paint? Will paint thinner do it without being too harsh on the wheel itself? Anything else that would work without ruining the wheels?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kevin
