Just 'cause you don't like the alternatives, doesn't mean you haven't been given some good ideas. About the only choice I haven't seen is to have them all stripped and then polished. This would be done by a chrome shop. That bare aluminum would really be a bitch to take care of, though.

Will admit, that at this juncture, you don't really have any good choices. That's the problem with bad chrome.

 

Yeah, they are overpriced....for everyone else. I get "brother-in-law" prices. I've bought more wheels than I can count from them over the past 20 years. They give me discounts because of my repeat business. My 19 in chrome maya gr5 cost me $3400 from goodroads. I think that's a pretty good price.
