Chrome over Aluminum Wheels

I just bought a set of what I thoght were the 17" polished aluminums, but when I picked them up, I found out they were chrome over aluminum. Does anyone know what the aluminum looks like if I rip off the chrome cover? Is it polished or worth taking them off to polish them?
Thanks,
Jamie Hastings
