Chrome removal

[j.rigby15r]

So I have some old chrome wheels on my 64 that are pitted, scratched and in all over bad shape. I’ve tried a number of methods of restoring them but ultimately I think I want to get rid of the chrome. Unless anyone has a better method I was thinking of just taking my buffer with sanding pads or angle grinder with flapper discs and removing the chrome that way. What are your thoughts or suggestions. If I ruin the wheels I won’t loose any sleep. Curious to see what everyone thinks.
