Question Just Wondering

Has anyone ever removed the plastic outer portion of the Chrome Clad original rims?
I have seen these rims Plasti Dipped and Powder Coated, but I was wondering if you could remove the plastic portion, and if so could they still be balanced and what would they look like?
May be able to polish the aluminum?
Anyway just wondering, if I could a cheap one I may have to try this.

There are some old pics floating around where someone removed them and they were really glued on really good. Good luck getting them peeled off.
