You don't have to take the clear coat completely off. Just rough it up with some 60-100 grit sandpaper. But if you wanted to remove everything and be left with bare metal, you could spend $7 and get a can of aircraft stripper.
I would rather use a little bit of elbow grease to refinish my current wheels and use that extra $75 towards making my car faster. That is just me though.

Just refinish the wheels. It's not hard at all and would take like a day to do.
