I don't think you can do Chrome and paint mix on a single piece wheel. The wheel would have to be electroplated (Chromed) and after that, you wouldn't want to paint it.

I suggest having the lip poilshed, and then the centers painted. Try Glenn's Wheel Polishing....and there you will find your answer.
