Chrome Rims Flaking. Refinishing Options?

Hi,
Actually this is for my 94 Mustang GT, not my Saab 9000. But this is a great board so I thought I would ask here.
I have a set of Eagle Alloy rims that are chromed. Well the chrome is flaking on the inside well. The outside spokes look fine, and I hate to toss the rims. Rechroming is not cost effective, they want an arm and a leg. So do I have any options? These are some sort of ally, and I was wondering if I had them sand blasted clean, can they be polished and sealed? If so, will the finish hold up?
I thought of powder coating, but don't see any finishes I really like. The chrome powder coat looks like pewter, and has a dull finsh...of course. I don't want to waste these rims, but I want them to look respectable too. I appreciate any thoughts and suggestions you may have.
Regards
Mister Pig
