I can't see any problems, just don't use a really harsh detergent/soap; 
Simple Green, the orange stuff, etc. should be OK. Dry them off well 
after cleaning.

The only issue I had with chrome wires was a cleaning system from Eagle 
available years ago. It was two-part, with a cleaner and a 'neutralizer' 
(indicating the cleaner was either acidic or caustic; I think it was 
acidic). A wheel tuning technician cleaned my wheels with a caustic 
(lye) solution, and chunks of the chrome flaked off. I think it was due 
to the Eagle cleaner, because it became unavailable after a couple years 
but, of course, it could have been from the caustic solution (though he 
did lots of wheels and hadn't had the problem before).
