Chris,

It is very likely that the rims are chromed. Polished fuchs would never peel. The problem lies in removing the chrome and refinishishing to a polished/painted look.

I recently refurbished a complete set and it was a pain in the a.. . I had the rims bead blasted and spent about $50 on avarious grits of 3M paper and went to town. The result was great but the work was torture. I have photos if you'd like to see the end result.

There may be a chemical solution that will remove the chrome w/out further damage but I couldn't find it. Good luck with it.
