There should be plenty of rim repair mobs around in each major city. Just about taking em in and getting a quote for what you want done to em.
If you want them re-chromed there's industrial type places that do chrome plating/dipping, but thats usually on the entire surface so assuming they're one-piece it's not the best option as it'll plate the chrome everywhere.
Otherwise they can sorta spray/apply the stuff on, but yeah best bet is rim repair mob for that.

Alternatively, DIY.. sand back and polish. I reckon polish > chrome any day, but it's up to personal opinion.
