It depends on how damaged the original chrome is . If the rust has penetrated the chrome and made it bubble there will b no chrome underneath when u clean off the rust. Its swings and roundabouts with restoration . Its ur bike judge 4 urself really if ur happy with it . I have saved loads of frames etc. If the wheel is ally stands a chance as I say its bubbled the chrome  ::)
