Default How to make a mirror finish on my wheels lip

I've searched everywhere on this website and could'nt find anything. I recently recieved my rims and the lip on them is not a chrome like finish, I was wondering is there a metal polish out there that I can use to make it turn chrome, I was also thinking about using steel wool or something to that matter. My friend told me its pretty expensive to get it done so I was wondering whats the cheap mans way of doing it?

you need to first find out how the lips are made. high polish? chrome? clear coated? anodized?

unless it's high polished with no clear coat, i think it's going to be real hard making it like mirror again
