          Anyways. Is this green something that is forming ON the chrome, or is the chrome itself discoloring (If that can happen)

              try using chrome polish, windex works too but I dont know if the ammonia will eventually discolor them.

                  Try Simplegreen. They clean my chrome rims really good.

                    Yea simple green is also proven to corrode after time. And if they were my wheels, I would take them to a store that specializes in wheel repair and that type of thing, like over here we have SportsCar Tire they normally repair wheels and polish them. I'd take it to them before using every kind of chemical you can find in your closet. You would be better off hearing what they have to say.
