i need to get these bolts for my rims chromed, or polished. i asked a jeweler and it came pretty close to the same price as buying new ones (roughly 300$).

Never chrome a bolt that is needed to keep something important from falling apart. Chrome weakens the metal it bonds to... Bad idea for wheel bolts.
