Plural of chrome; multiple objects that are coated with chromium, or various chromium-containing compounds or materials.
From 'chrome' (chromium, from Greek 'chroma' meaning color) plus regular plural suffix '-s', referring to multiple chrome-plated items or chrome components.
When you see gleaming chromes on a vintage motorcycle or hot rod, you're looking at a status symbol that was only affordable to the wealthy a century ago—today, cheap plastic mimics the look because real chrome plating is expensive and environmentally problematic.
