I do know that aluminum can be successfully plated.

I need to edit the profile info as I now have 2 sets of rims.
The magnesium ones I had polished and they looked terrific:
But magnesium wheels are hard to keep up.
So they are relegated on one or two times a year use:
For street use (read: "easy to maintain") an extra set of rims were purchased and Serpent Express had them chromed.
Very pleased with the results.

The same setup can be bought from Vintage Wheels in either 15" or 17" pin drive.
They are 6-spoke like the original 427 Cobra.
