re-chroming wheel nuts

["Philip E. Barnes" <peb3@cornell.edu>]

The wheel nuts for my alloy wheels need to be re-chromed. The initial 
quality of the plating wasn't very good and over the years it's 
flaked off and left a mixture of rust and flaked chrome. I'd like to 
get them re-chromed, but is there an alternative that is durable and 
attractive? Perhaps nickel alone? Black oxide would be good, too.
