Ok well i have volk gt7s and there just a mess no matter what i do they turn out looking horrible the chrome lip is turning into a black lip lol i cant put any kind of polish on the lip because for one i have tried with no luck and 2 i read there was some kind of coating over the chrome. There beautiful rims but i want them to really pop not just look ok from a distance and real bad once you get up close, anyways here are some pics of my problems any advice will be greatly appreciated.

is the inside really supposed to look like this? i mean that is just disguting its like a permant coating of dirt or brake dust something, no matter how much i scrub that stuff will not come off.
