very good chance they are, I did the same thing and it ate the clear coat on the wheels... You could get them redone it shouldnt cost that much

Clear coat yes but chrome is a bit harder for brake fluid to ruin. IF you cleaned it right away and didnt just wipe it off you should be fine. If a residue is left and not cleaned of it will affect the chrome's luster.

Did a fine job on the master cyl of my harley when the fluid wasnt cleaned all the way. 150.00 down the drain.
