Chrome plating an alloy basically can't be permanent metallurgically.
Chrome is usually applied to iron and steel compounds through a multistep process or included in their creation. So, one can have a steel wheel chromed but they are a bit heavy.
Consider that you are wasting your money getting it rechromed or replacing it.
Consult tire rack or

for proper wheels.
Your move.

If indeed those are real AMG brand wheels, MB does not recommend chroming alloy for the very reasons you cite.

I'm confused a little by what you're suggesting. So you are implying that chrome plating an aluminum alloy wheel is a bad thing? Just trying to understand the point you're making.
