They Nickleplate them mate, or Fully polish the whole rim. Chroming Magnesium doesnt seem to happen much.

Yeah, polishing seems to be the way to go.... it looks like chrome.... Not sure who does them though....

Good point Lucas i read somewhere on the net about a new Clear coating that doesn't crack or yellow over polished metal. Any one know anything about it ?.
