Is it peeled chrome or is it pitting in the steel?  I would try wet and dry but a picture might be helpful to make an informed decision :daumenhoch:

Original finish was zinc.
You can have them re- zinc plated you can also have them chrome plated. It sounds like your zinc has gone south.
 This is how they come out chromed.
