You can stop most chrome from rusting by applying a good car wax every few weeks or so...
Meguairs or Mothers canubra Wax is good...
and when washing, use a car wash with wax.. these are available everywhere... Kitten, Armorall, Turtle wax etc....
or You could spray some clear lacquer over the wheels...
and still wash with a wax...
Taiwan & Brazillian chromes are a problem....
Re chroming would be another "Expensive" remedy..
