To me that looks like it will come off, as long as the acutal chrome is not damaged....you can tell if it feels really rough. Looks like dirt and grime to me though. What is reason for buying and are you selling also?

There is definately dirt/grime on there. It also looks like some of the clear coat on the wheel has chipped off and the dirt can get underneath the actual clear coat itself. I had the problem with my last set of wheels.
