Not well. Nickel has a different color than chrome. It is not a "true" silver. Also every manufacturer has a different shade of nickel so you can struggle to even match nickel between product lines. Stay with one or the other. Chrome is certainly less expensive and still looks great.
Along with chrome, polished brass is the most popular. Other finishes available are stainless steel, satin and brushed nickel.
Use a magnet. If it sticks it's chrome. If not, it's polished aluminum.
chrome rims are made of steelthe steel is then cleaned and polished and subjected to a chemical process that makes the chromeif you find an old chrome rim u can see where rocks etc have chipped the chrome off an that allows rust to get at steel rim
It all depends in what you're talking about. stainless steel in highly polished and reflective as a coating, whereas on bolts its just highly polished but if you buy a stainless steel fridge or stove it looks more like a brushed aluminum, in that case I would say, no, it does not match, however it is very contemporary and complement eachother. Chrome is a coating that when taken care of properly, cleaned and polished regularly, will look very similar to a stainless steel.
No, BUT the finish do not last as ling as chrome and they look like crap after a few years
The bolts are always polished and may look like they're chrome, but the give-away will be the bolt handle. The bolt handle should be blued. If the handle is chromed, the gun has been modified, they didn't come in chrome.
If is actually chrome, there is no way to repair it PROPERLY without having the whole wheel rechromed. If it is not chrome but polished aluminum, a light scratch can be sanded out. Beware though, that most newer wheels have a clearcoat over them which you will also sand off. Once that happens the repaired area will corrode.
