Heavy oxidation on chrome rims :o(

[050n20s]

Hey everyone. So I could really use some assistance on this one. I am finally about to put my chrome rims back on after about 2 years and lets just say they were pretty nasty looking. They had these green spots all over them which I am guessing it was from the winter. I meant to go over to my aunt`s house where they were stored but never had time and had to clean them. I have no before pics but today I tried to clean the mess out of them with eagle 1 chrome cleaner, soap and water, and the put some chrome polish on them and this is what I am left with:

Is there anything I could do to restore these rims back? Now these are GM aftermarket 20s which I am guessing isn`t the best chrome in the world but would like to get them back to OEM if possible.

Looks like pitting. Get some #00000 steel wool and some foaming glass cleaner and GENTLY rub them. Just be aware that you will need to clean them weekly from here on out. And NEVER put any acid on those. You are also gonna want to stay away from any caustic degreasers. To take it one step further I would wax them with every wash, or your brake dust will catch in those pockets super easy. Good luck.
