Removing wheel weight from outside of GTA wheels

[GNandTTA]

Bought a set of GTA wheels. They are in near 10 of 10 condition except the weights were mounted on the outside. Has anyone had any luck with removing them and restoring the finish underneath the weights without stripping the whole wheel. Really don't want to do that to these.

I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but I had mine CNC'd and they came out beautiful. Perhaps you can find someone to just CNC the outer lip. Cost was $100.00 per wheel if you go for the full restoration including new paint in the honeycombs and total clearcoat when done.
