I don't think it's the de-chroming process that is of concern, it's the chroming process.
At least for Fuchs, the story has been that chroming them makes them brittle.
I can tell you from personal experience - I had a set of chromed Fuchs on my SC, that were done by the previous owner.
One of the chromed rears (16x7) ended up developing a huge crack on one of the spokes. And it had never been in an accident, raced, etc. Just street use.
Supposedly, Fuchs aren't supposed to crack, even if impacted they're supposed to bend but not crack. So, in my case, did the chroming make them brittle?
I don't know for sure, but I don't really trust any Fuchs anymore that have been chromed.
