Peter thats a good thing to know. I have 4 chrome W140 wheels I'm going to use for snows. Chrome face is extremely nice but there is some pitting on the inside. These would make an excellent test case.

They peeled and were ugly. I replaced them. Gave to old ones to a fellow at work. He abrasive blasted off the chrome, than polished them a bit. He painted them with "Eastwoods" powder coating kit, requires baking at about 400°. They look better than my new wheels! FYI -- Peter T.
