That really doesnt look like chrome. Just looks like laquered Aluminium and the laquer is cracking.

Think you'll find it's not chrome but unpainted alloy. Chrome is a pure mirror finish.
Did you degrease the rim before lacquering mate?

not sure if it was autosol 
would find out if its safe to put on first
if you have a polished lip you have to spend ages polishing it every week anyway

"Lacquer bubbling and lacquer checking is caused by the absorption of solvent into the the topcoat surface. The actual problem results from the oil drying out in the paint. Small areas of minor consequence of lacquer check and lacquer bubbling can be repaired through color-sanding and following the steps in "90 Percent Solution."" - http://www.mustangandfords.com

Waters obviously got in where it hasn't been totally sealed.
Will need to remove the laquer to sort it.
