leave them off!

now onto your question, you need to take all the chrome off with sandpaper "by hand" and primer it and toss on some automotive paint with a clearcoat.

I have tried sanding the chrome off or at least scratching it really well with 220->400->600 grit and the paint dries and it comes right off..

honestly buy some aftermarket rice nonsense and use them if you must..

my 2 cents..

I took my silver ones and painted them with flat black wheel paint... I didn't sand or anything. That was a year ago, still looks like it did on day 1.
