Yes.

The pro-class II were originally available in chrome and came fitted with chrome hubs, chrome spokes and black alloy nipples  :daumenhoch:

I haven't heard of many success stories at all with re-chroming alloy rims - it didn't exactly work greatly back in the day but these new "eco friendly" chroming processes of today which people are having trouble with don't seem to suit alloy at all  :-\
