Well its not all that easy, and chrome wheels generally last a few minutes before the chrome peels. That's why you see that all wheel manufacturers may have lets say 6 months warantee on wheels, but for chrome wheels its reduced to 3 months.

They should mainly be used for show, and your british winters will eat up the chrome in no time, and it'll end up looking horrible.

If you want it that shiny, get some polished alloys (or polish your own), but they do require maintenance every so often to keep em shiny (but they wont peel or other damage, they'll just dull a bit)
