Ok, I have been informed that those are golf cart rims. Here is a link with a lot of choices from caps, to wire covers, to actual polished chrome rims:

You know I do not see why they would not work the same.
An alternative would be to have your stock rims powdercoated or chrome plated. Powdercoating is nice because you can usually find a lot of colors.

You could also go for this nifty all aluminum spinner rim:
