Urethane clear coat chipping

I have used the search section for an answer, maybe I overlooked it. I would like to know what is the solution to the urethane clear coat chipping on the older R3 wheels?

Triumph was replacing those under warranty. Their solution to the problem was to stop coating them.

Otherwise I would think that any automotive stripper would work to remove the coating but it might take the black paint off also.

This place has a ton of different strippers and coatings.
