Can be done , not many chromers would do them though because they're not confident enough of a quality finish . Chroming rims is hard work ( the prep ) but ultimately really good if done well . My advice , visit some chromers & chat to them about it  ;) .

Why dont you polish em?

Looking at some of Neils (n2cus) resto threads they look as good as chromed to me

Cheers

Going to mirror polish as they are annoed and wrong colour at the mo, then had this brainstorm as you do, must check out some of Neils work.

Have had a look at the chroming sticky and saw some rims and hubs done and they do look sweet.
