lols, how can you be mad at buying something from ebay when you already knew one of the rims were less than perfect. Just goto a wheel shop and see if they can resurface it, you're looking at about 75-125 depending on what needs to be done.

I'm not certain cause I've never had chrome rims (don't like them) heh whenever I have any kind of chip in my rims I just apply touchup paint^^. Call and ask a detail shop and see if they know.

kinda missleading on the auction by the pics, but it did say there was acid spots. I can see why you would be pissed though. call/go to a shop like they said above.
