Are they chrome or are the stainless steel?? and yes these seem to be hard to find in nice shape!!

They are stainless...mine had the original paint still on and they were all scratched and grimy. I cleaned them with paint stripper and did a fine steel wool polish before running them on my buffing wheel with rouge. I'm going to stick with the unpainted look on mine...
