Danny,
I had the dealer install the chrome engine kit (includes 3 large pieces: the clutch cover, engine cover and sprocket cover) and chrome cam cover, and also the chrome clutch lifter cover on my Scrambler. I polish them up with the Simichrome polish, I also use that stuff on the exhaust, but gently, because I don't want to rub off any of the plating over time. I use S100 to clean the entire bike, and this stuff is fantastic on the wheels and spokes. I also have this stuff called Motorex Shine and Protect, I haven't used it yet though. Got it from Hermys.com (I also got from them the little rubber bellows that covers the clutch cable). Also, after I wash the bike, I wax it up with S100 wax, definately including the wheels. I think as far as the wheels go, wax em up, and that will protect them from rusting. Obviously, if the bike gets wet, dry it off, otherwise it'll probably rust. If its raining I won't ride it, and the bike is always garaged. Hope this helps you with your quest to defeat the rust demons, and good luck with any chrome modifications you choose.
