Wheel Ideas

I have a set of C5 corvette wheels that are starting to pit and the chrome is wearing off. So i need to do something about it but i'm not sure what. I have some ideas but i wanted some outside imput before i decide on something. Its a white car and i use it mainly as a show car. So its going to be either re-chroming, dipped in black chrome, or powder coated white. Heres an old picture of the wheels to get an idea of what we're dealing with lol
