alloy chroming is a specialist job, its a different process than chroming steel
try looking for motorbike restorers, they can chrome alloy and to a high std
for example silverbronze in alton hampshire

would charge £60 to chrome a alloy bmx rim
so for a set of 20in car wheels you will be looking at quite a bit of cash but they will be done to show quality
