Most people buy Fikse's with the TechniPolish coating on the centers, they aren't available in chrome at all (I'm sure they'll do it, but its not listed as a finish on their site).
Full polish is an available finish but most people don't get it, I know there is a picture of I think a red LT1 Camaro with full polished FM/5's on here somewhere.
Fikse's along with any other higher end manufacturer (CCW, HRE, iForged, DPE etc.) set cars apart, so it will be harder to find what your looking for for that very reason.

Fikse is a performance/racing wheel, they do not believe in chrome. Chrome has no business on a racing wheel.
You rarely see polished ones because they are very expensive, it adds $500 to the set.
Here is how they look in 18s with technipolish:

The thing that bothers me about the FM/5, FM/10 (Classic) line of wheels is the up sizes are just bigger barrels, the center portions stay the same, looks a little goofy IMO.
I say for 18"+ go to the Profil, or Chroma line.
EDIT: Although the 18's on that particular SS look great!
