How to remove the chrome clad from your wheels

[macbwt]

I removed the chrome clads in order to lower the maintenance of having to balance the tires due to shifting and accumulated dirt in between the clad and the aluminum wheels. Each spoke has a pocket for dirt to accumulate. Not exactly the pretties of wheels but I am going to apply some paint and make them decent and lower maintenance.

I'm glad to know that cladding comes off. One of mine was curbed by the PO and the chrome is peeling off.

 

I think I'll rip the claddings off and plastidip these for now, then turn them into winter wheels once I buck up and get some nice summer wheels.
