Silver line do some discs that fit on your angle grinder that will strip all the paint & corrosion off.

old style nitromors used to work a treat, the new formula is pretty rubbish.
I make my own using dichloromethane (DCM) mixed with cellulose powder (wallpaper paste flakes) It's cheap, hugely effective, but terrible for ones health. use with extreme caution, read up on all DCM health risks and apply accordingly.

when you can get a set of 4 wheels blasted for under £40, it really isnt worth the hassle trying to DIY it. by the time youve bought some stripper and consumables (wire brush, sandpaper, etc). youre maybe saving 20 quid but having to do days and days of work to get a good result. then depending on how fiddly the wheels are, youll still struggle to get a good finish.
