It can be done. I think you have to send them off though. http://www.rimpro.com/index.html

I laughed at this on their site:
the process takes 6 weeks. The reason for the downtime is because we send the wheel out to our California location to be dipped, as it is the only place in the country that can perform this service to our standards.
Lmao, they must be taking the wheels down to Mexico. It's extremely expensive to chrome anything here, much less something as large as a wheel. There are also only a handful of places that have the permits and EPA exemptions to do it.

I never said they were chrome. I'm just pointing out that it's a shady company.

Did you take the brakes apart before you painted them?
