almost looks like the chrome has been worn down into the nickel plating underneath.

pick a small spot that is out of the way----inside the skirt of the hoop perhaps, and rub it a bit with a bit of household cleanser under your finger. i know this will scratch, some but it is a good way to determine if the film on the chrome will come off with an abrasive. if it does, then get a better chrome polish , that has a fine abrasive in it. lately I've been using Blue Magic and it works pretty good. sometimes with very old chrome, it takes two treatments to get the murk off.

might also be what Mike said but nickel is usually a lot more yellow than chrome.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your advice. After trying many different polishes with no success, it came down to Cape Cod cloths that finally took care of the blemishes. This stuff was amazing!! A little more elbow grease but well worth the effort. The rims and lugs look brand new. I would recommend this product to anyone who is having problems getting the results they would normally expect from other polishes.
