It would be cheaper to buy new rims.
Chrome is not just dipped, sorry.
First the rims have to be stripped. Then there is the nickel....Polishing....There is so much labor in plating decorative chrome it's not funny. It is so controlled by the EPA and OSHA that very few shops even do it.
The quality of workmanship is gone BUT if you do find a good chrome plater be sure to let me know
