Send your wheels to get them chromed. There's bound to be someone locally that does that sort of thing.

It's possible but probably not cheap.

Good information..thanks Also looking into some nice polished or brushed aluminum wheels. Bet they would look nice on black bike..Not much in the US I suppose for the PCX. I know chrome can be done over aluminum but they first have to fuse a nickel layer first then chrome I believe ??

Trouble with chrome is, you're likely to add some substantial weight if you add it to the stock wheels. The PCX is already 280+ pounds wet, which is a bit of work for that little 150 to push around already. You could check out some of the Thai websites, since there's some pretty amazing stuff available for the PCX over there. It seems to me that starting with a wheel that's already designed to be a chrome wheel is best.
