I refurbished a rim recently with lots of various grit sand paper and polish... thinking I may do the same as you did with the insides... before was really pitted and horrible.

Yeah Gary, nice wheels. I've seen this car up close (I bought his '84 GSL last year) and it definitely has restoration potential. As for the aircraft paint stripper I'm very familiar with it --- we restore DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otters at work, and paint stripping very much goes with that particular territory.
And yes, it immediately burns like hell if you get it on your skin. Don't even think about getting it in your eyes. On the bright side, it comes in very handy if you ever catch some punk trying to steal your 7 ---- a paint stripper enema comes to mind...
