Unfortunately, what seems the most effective way to remove chrome is dog urine! 1 winter of a dog peeing on your chrome wheels, and they are shot. I took my LRE wheels to a replater, and had them remove the chrome, the only real way I know of.

My plater does this no charge, maybe he is able to reclaim the chrome, which is costly Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
