We use a display cooler to sell strawberries and apple cider. Looks about
like what you'd see for a small milk cooler in a store.

The shelves are made of small rods or heavy wire. They are beginning to show
their age with slight rusting and the original chrome wearing off.

Would these be a good candidate for nickel chroming at home? How should I
prep (remove the rust)them?

Could be done, but probably more trouble than it's worth. You must
strip the chrome, which will also probably remove any rust. Then you
must neutralize, rinse, and polish if you want a mirror finish. Then
clean again and plate with copper, then nickle-plate.
