Poor Neglected Rims :(

So I really feel stupid for spending so much money on these rims and letting them go like this. They look rusty and tarnished. I've tried some degreaser on them and it took a lot of the big stuff off but there's still something on them. Any suggestions?

too far gone unfortunately. the chrome plating is flaking off by the spokes. see this a lot at work and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

for what you would pay to have them stripped and re-chromed you could have a nice set of 17's.... just sayin
