Default '96 ws6 wheel question

Im looking to get another set of wheels for my car. I want 2 sets. one chrome, and one mag (like mine). Apparently I scraped a curb with my drivers front somehow... so its got some curb rash on the rim.

I wanted to know, can it be fixed.. and would it be cheaper to get the wheels dipped or whatever into chrome, then buy another set of mags... or just buy a whole set of chrome wheels? When I shop for chrome wheels I want almost flawless ones.

If so, where can I get them... or whats a good place to send my wheels for refinishing/chroming?

The 96 wheels were a 1 year only wheel. The silver center with a polished lip looks great!
I would get it repaired. You will have a hard time getting a place to chrome wheels.
Also the factory chrome and polished are always available. Not so with the 96 wheels.

Yep. I know around here in the St Louis area there is Hubcap and wheel store that does wheel repair.
