Default Chrome refinishing to Silver?

Is it possible to get chrome wheels refinished into the silver look? I have 3 chrome wheels since one of mine broke and to get a replacement. But I like the silver look better than the chrome look, and if possible would like all my wheels to be silver. Can I get the wheels I have refinished in silver? Should I buy the new one in silver, or get it in chrome and have them all refinished if possible?

you're gonna need to remove the chrome. I believe they do an acid dip or some kind of chemical remover. Then I suggest you powder coat them afterwards, since it will look pretty bad after the chrome removal

So it is possible, any idea on how much it will cost? Also if I'm getting another rim should i buy the silver one and take the chance on them looking the same? OR buy another chrome and just do the same process for all of them?
