Question How to clean yellowing chrome rims?

I have some spots on my stock 5 stars that look yellow or Lite orange.
kinda like chrome headers.
But by no means that bad.
What can I use to get rid of the yellowing?
I tried Mothers Mag and aluminum polish.
But that did nothing at all.
So what can I use?
Thanks,

I'm going to wash the car tomarrow maybe I can find it.
I think it's going to be hard to see it on a picture but I'll try.

my buddy had some rims that did this. I dont think you can do anything. I think it is where the chrome is thinning out and showing the metal under the chrome.
