You certainly can. Just send them out to any reputable chrome shop and they will fix you right up. They may need to strip any clearcoat that is on the wheels, if there is any.

Keep in mind that if you happen to curb or scuff a chromed rim, the finish is ruined, whereas if you do the same to a polished rim, you can almost always sand/polish the damage out.

1fastviper, definitely go with a chrome finish. The chrome finish is brighter and it is easier to clean than polish. I would talk to John at :calchrome.com
