You can do it yourself. Figure an hour per wheel to strip.
I started the stripping with some aircraft coating stripper... worked great but ran out before I was done and didn't feel like going to the store. Finished with regular old Jasco paint stripper. A bit slower, but still worked well. Then> wet sanded > primed > sanded again > painted > sanded > painted.
If you take it to a shop, they will probably just bead blast it, way faster than my hand-stripping.
You might want to just take them to a powder-coater. Prolly $100 or so per wheel to strip and powder coat.

I used Duplicolor Automotive Primer/sealer, followed by Duplicolor automotive Stainless Steel. Came out great!
