Well... Crome spray tends to look nothing like chrome. Go to a muffler shop and get it chromed. that will fix it

Chrome on aluminum = high maintenance.
You think you got corrosion now? See what about 3 weeks worth of brake dust does..

Powder coat 'em. You can pick any color you want and it's tough stuff. Look in your phone book...there should be someone who does it in there and it's not as expensive as chroming.

a less expensive way to make stock rims and rusted metal look good is to use a cast paint on it and a spray can gun. It looks brand new, and it makes your engine looks mean as hell. did it with my last vehicle.
