Paint stripping wheels

Paint stripping wheels
I decided to paint strip my slipstreams with Klean-Strip instead of sanding them down. I've seen and heard this done but I ran into a snag while paint stripping it. I was able to take off the paint and all but it left this whitish-greyish specks on the wheels. This residue was below the paint and was really hard to take off. I'm not quite sure what it is, maybe primer? Anyways, after applying and re-applying the klean-strip onto the wheels, the stuff would not come off and i've also tried rubbing compound and some polish but to no avail. Anyone have any idea what this is and how to remove it? I was hoping to either re-paint the wheels and leave a lip or paint the whole wheel graphite...i've also been playing with the idea of just leaving them polished but put some clear coats after the paint was stripped. But only way this is possible is to completely strip everything off the wheel. Any and all help is appreciated. Some pics are below. Thanks.

THE DAMAGE
By the way, i plan to take the tires off to complete the job cuz with the tires it's too hard to get a clean strip of the paint.
