stock PR5 chrome wheels - white webs/cracks in finish? How to remove?

[slvrPR5]

White marks/spiderwebs on my PR5 stock chrome wheels, as shown in pic below.



What is it and how do I remove them? Tried a few products from the tool cabinet today, even polishing compound, no effect.

Thanks everyone.

Don't have a solution for you, but maybe try posting this over at http://www.autopia.org/forum/forum.php

Those folks are serious about detailing and might have a solution for you. Just in case nobody here chimes in with something

Looks like the clear coating is starting to peel.
At first I thought it was hard water spots and was going to suggest warm water mixed with vinegar.

Had the same thing on my bbs wheel lip's it's just the clear peeling .I just threw some paint stripper on waited abit then washed off with some water then polished them up.

Would paint stripper ruin the chrome though?

^^^^^^^^^^^ it really shouldnt, its more for just removing the residue.

But do you have to hit with clearcoat again? Or is it some surface glazing you are removing and the base clear coat remains?

Well my bbs wheel lip's are aluminum to begin with so as soon as I took the clear coat off I sanded it down with 1500-2000 grit acouple time's then polished them up with some polish just for aluminum to protect them and give them a shine.No clearcoat was put on after that.
