When i first got my 95' 240, the previous owner had some bunk-ass Chrome plated rims ("Bling-Blings" aren't my thing).  I was in my garage this weekend and i saw them.  The design isn't that bad on them and I would like to use them w/o the chrome.  

I have done some looking up on the internet to see how i could take off the chrome.  I used to strip paint with brake fuild when i would repaint things, but i dont think that is going to cut it on chrome.  I read the Chlorine that you put in pools works really good to take off chrome.  Also, I heard Easy-Off oven cleaner is ok too.  Does anyone know of anything else that might work?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?
