Use a chemical stripper to remove the powder coat off of your wheels. Sanding will take forever.

After you've removed the finish you'll need to refinish them though.

If they got blasted before they were powdered, you'll definitely have to get them repainted/powdered back to OEM color. If that is the case, you might as well let the shop that refinishes them strip them for you.

Or just trade them on here for non powder coated/ painted stock wheels...

It probably will. There are shops that offer professional stripping services though if you want to be sure.
