depending on how "well" it's seperating you may be able to use a paint scraper very carefully and work under the chrome to remove it.... if not talk to a sandblasting shop and see what they would charge to do it...

Yeah, the scraper wont work. Now, wont the sandblasting take off the paint? If they were all alum that wouldnt be too bad. Ive even considered having them painted entirely. I got all 4 wheels for $150 used. I didnt really want dark rims but i couldnt pass up the deal.

Most sandblasters can "mask off" the stuff they don't want to have hit.... that way they only remove what you want removed.... it's worth asking about....
