Removal of Teflon from aluminum wheels

I recently bought some aluminum wheels. Afterwards I noticed that they are Teflon-coated. Does anyone know a way to remove the Teflon without harming the finish? I prefer to polish aluminum wheels. Thanks for your time.

The only way to strip the teflon coating is burning it off. But take care because you'll need about 500�C to burn them off and you will damage the aluminiuim, it will becomes softer. You'd rader grind and poplish the weels without burn them off.
