Unfortunately, the silver deep-V rims are most likely anodized. Painted rims are not. When you remove the paint, either through sanding or chemical-stripping, you'll end up with a bare aluminium surface that will end up blotchy and dull because it will oxidize at different rates. There's really no easy solution here. It's like saying, "I want a Ferrari Enzo, and I want to pay $100 for it!" You can discuss all the ways you can try to negotiate and pay $100. You can try it 20 different ways, but in the end, it's still not gonna happen.
