IMHO, it is a risk getting 2nd hand alloy rims as you don't know what it had been subjected to. There could be unseen micro cracks and the whole rim may just fall apart during high speed and over speed bumps.

Sorry. What's the base metal of your rims? I'm not the expert but IMHO, chroming process entails chemicals & heating the rims up and then cooling it down. This may or may not strengthen/weaken the metal. Do ask around for expert opinion or do a search on metallurgy/chroming.
My 2 cents.
