I bought some 1996 Mustang GT rims with drag radials but they were sprayed with like chrome paint. Is there an easy way to get this off without messing up the rim because I would like it to match my front rims when I put them on.

paint stripper. aircraft stripper, although there is a good chance it'll pull the paint off from under there too.
might try a highpressure hose. ie pressure washer with HOT water.

Might have to just completely remove all the paint and re-apply your own.
