Default Wheel Quality

I was going to get the AR TTM wheels in chrome for my 25th. I got the rear wheels and noticed the chrome quality an finishing of the wheels is very bad. Hell the area between the beads on the inside where the tire mounts looks better than the back side of the rim. I dont know if I can polish out the chrome or not.

Is this normal for all wheels? Is polished aluminum better? Whats the norm? If I am paying $1k + I would like the wheels to look at least in the ball park as far as finish goes rear vs front.

I cant be the only one that likes the back of the wheels looking good too. Maybe I just need some professional help.
