cheap or expensive way?

you could take it to a shop and see if they can polish or chrome it.

or you can go all ghetto and get some chrome paint lol.

There is a website www.factoryfinish.com.au
They're based in Brisbane, but perhaps they may have someone in SA they could recommend you?

Extensive wheel services on South Rd at Richmond will strip them back and polish them for you but it's not cheap. Had the wheels done there on my old falcon and they did a really good job!
