you could also media blast them with glass bead or baking soda, or have someone else do it. If the face still looks good just do the bead, but since some of the chrome is coming off it is probably just a matter of time before it starts to look bad and leak.
If you have the whole wheel un-chromed you can paint them or have them powder coated. If you don't do the work yourself, it may be cheaper to buy a different set of wheels.

Theres no real way to save the rims unless you get them media blasted and redone, or replace them with a good deal when it comes.
