Chrome wheels damaged by HCl

An apprentice at my company accidentally washed my wire chrome wheels on my classic sports car with Hydrochloric acid (we use this acid to remove concrete from construction plant) It appears to have removed the chrome plating but only in certain areas. Does any one have any ideas as to how I can re-polish the wheel without completely re-chroming it.

Thanks,

Unfortunately that won't prove possible, David.
