Default gsr Blades Question... Are they chrome plated or not?

Ha maybe a dumb question but
Im about to buy some gs-r blade rims, and im going to get them powder coated...
The place will charge me $15 to sand blast each rim if they are chrome plated (to rough up the chrome)
Im guessing there polished aluminim but i dont really kno..

So do i need to get them sand blasted or not??!?!?

we do powder coating where i work, and i would think sandblasting them would probably help. i got blades and the polished part is awfully smooth.

i dont know for sure though. im not an expert, i suppose i could ask one of the operators.
