I bought a used set of Foose Nitrous II's. The guy said one had a stain on the center of the wheel but he didn't know what it was and if it would come out. I got a hell of a deal but it looks like it is a brake fluid stain (which he probably knew) if it was just on the center only I was going to get the centers powder coated. He didn't say the wheel had it on the lip also. Is there something that might polish the stain out or should I just get it re-chromed? If it cost just as much to get it re-chromed I will just buy another one and keep it for a spare. Any help would be appreciated...

I had the same problem with chrome wheels, but it was overspray of clear coating or paint. I used some Thinner, and it removed all that stuff. Not sure if that's going to work in your case.

good luck

Thanks, I will try a couple of things this week. If not I will just keep it as a spare...

You can try #0000 steel wool on chrome with some chrome compound/polish or even thinner. If it doesn't come off that way, its probably not coming off. Good luck.
