What that stem chrome before? Ive got one just like that, maybe worse condition. I thought it was the chrome peeling off but that looks great! Did you take the flakey chrome off and just polish the ally?

They do come up well don't they  :)

I had a Black one that was very badly worn & dented, but I sent mine off to Customparts & it came up great.
