You wouldn't want them 'nickel' plated. As eluded to in Tom's post they should be electroplated with copper, nickel and then chromium.
And to be done right for a top notch job the old plating should be stripped off first, then the bare metal buffed. .
He wants the late 70's factory flash-chrome look.
None of the above would apply to replicating that look , except possibly de-plating.
They were not smoothed or buffed prior to plating , and not triple-plated.
Its a "cheap look" but has its own character.
