Rust on chrome is tough, some people use tin foil rubbed in to the rough areas to make it blend in, but it will not make it go away, rust reformer and paint is a good idea but not as shinny silver, it is hard to go wrong with gloss black paint tho.
for the wheels I would say sand paper, start out with 100 grit, 220 grit, 400, 600, 800, 1,200 and then the Mothers mag wheel polish will give you a perfect shine.
you can mount your own tires, but they are a pain, motorcycle shops tend to charge $30 or more each if you didn't buy them from that shop, if you try to do it your self, a little smooth hand cleaner works great as a lube to make the tire slide on smoother.
For cleaning, WD-40 works great on rubber and plastic parts.
for wrapping your wiring harness try the silicon electrical tape, it only sticks to it's self and is better then the original wiring harness wrap.
