you could try getting a place that does chroming to do just the lip with a little overlap on the spokes then tape off the chrome, sand down the spokes and spray away. the only trick is finding a place near you that does chroming.

so did you want a chrome lip or polished lip? theres a difference. Polished lip will be easier to achieve, even though fat fives dont have much of a lip to begin with. I would just polish the lip by wetsanding w/ fine grit & then using a polishing compound. & then tape off lip , prep rest of the wheel & paint.

^^^what he said

that would be the easiest way to achieve the 'look' you're going for without the expense of having to chrome anything.
