I did my wheels a little over a year ago in the same fashion as AB-oz. I left the spokes and inner areas black and just did the edges. I left the wheels on the bike and just did a section at a time. It took about 2.5 hours per wheel on a Sat/Sun. I used a spray can of "Aircraft Paint Remover" specifically made for aluminum. Once complete I waxed the rims with a Teflon Marine Wax that can be found at most Boat Stores. The wheels stay shiny for about six months and then it just takes a good cleaning with a rag and reapplication of the wax. The dissimilar metal corrosion will only happen if the two metals remain in contact with each other. As long as you wash the wheel after using the steel wool it is fine. Check my Gallery for pics. Best of luck to all.

I recommend ProGrip. Inexpensive, soft and color coordinated. Sorry, only had yellow pic. Available in Red. Welcome to the VFR Family. I think you will enjoy your ride very much.
