If one has a media blaster (I use silca or sand to remove the old coatings) and some patience, the same can be obtained by most anyone.
Nic`s were sanded out, then sanded with 220, then 1200, then Mother`s Power Metal polish with felt and cotton wheels.
The finished wheel shown has 4 coats of clear wheel urethane over the polished and painted areas.
Granted, the vehicle will not be a daily driver, exposed to salts, mag cloride, etc, so they will hold up for years.
