There's no way to make your chrome wheels brushed unless you refinish them. The brushed finish is applied before the actual chrome. The rims you've seen are probably brushed aluminum with a clear coat applied for protection.

Your best bet is take them to a metal finishing shop and ask how much it will cost to make them brushed. If you don't have expensive 3 piece rims it would probably be cheaper just to buy new brushed rims. Hope this helps...
