Alloy wheel surface bubbling

Seeing the factory alloy (?) wheels on my 2010 T27 Avensis (petrol) were starting to look filthy, I was about to give them a good clean when I noticed that in places the surface of the rear wheels had started to bubble, as if they were chrome and about to flake off, so I desisted from cleaning them in. Would anyone know if the wheels are in fact alloy or chrome finished and any recommendation as to what I should do would be appreciated.

That's an idea - my car is black so it would match - I'll see what the boss thinks (if you know what I mean).

Here's a pic of the bubbling. Is it an alloy wheel with a chrome or similar finish? I don't understand how an alloy wheel can bubble like this.

Yours are worse than mine and on the spokes. Mine are on the edge of the rim where curbed (not by me). They can refurbished.
