How can I safely remove this from my chrome rims?
I already tryed chrome polish and it did nothing, I was thinking about paint thinner, but did not know if it would damage it or not.

try either mineral spirits,or laquer thinner.the Chrome is pretty tough and non porus so the paint really shouldnt stick.Or you can use the #0000 steel wool,make sure its SUPER FINE.I have piloshed wheels and had to literally soak them in thinner to remove overspray and then repolish,but you shouldnt have that problem.
