you should sell your chrome wheels / trade for the original ones, make some money and take the new set and powder coat those...

I'm not sure you CAN powdercoat OVER chrome... I know I wanted to change my chrome lips on my 335 and have them redone in black chrome, and every shop said they didn't want to because you have to strip the chrome first, which becomes an even more expensive job...
