Default Chroming original 2000 polished thin spokes

I jst took the original polished (very)thin spoke wheels off my car and installed aftermarrket chromed ones. While they look good, I'd prefer to have my original wheels chromed. Do any of you know of a good shop that can clean up minor curb rash on the lip of one and do a great job of plating, including completely polishing the inside of the barrel?

I sometimes have problems with PMs, but you can e-mail me at roadking60455@yahoo.com.
