How to refinish black chrome rims? I drive a Dodge night runner and the wheels are black chrome, but my problem is that the black plating or tint I really don't know how it's done but it's peeling off and the normal chrome (NOT damaged) shows out more, my question is if I could refinish my rims easily without spending too much money.
