Are you using v-brakes or discs? Proper chrome will have a braking surface like greased lino.

Vee

could get pretty much any rim powder coated in " chrome" or "polished aluminium" colour. not real chrome but it looks mighty close if done properly and will be way better lasting

Hey!, my post was helpful

I am building a street bike with v brakes. i was wanting chrome rims similar to the ones that ever bmxer that runs rim brakes have except in 26inch. I think that chrome is harder wearing and provide a better surface for the pads. Any ideas

It will just be polished alluminium, not chrome as it is vary soft and heavy(not what you want in a rim).

here are some pics of some 24" MTX wheels in chrome/polished. I know this guy is running a disc but they look like they have a brake surface on them.
