If you want chrome ones best to get them properly rechromed in the USA. I like paint because Chinese chrome is impossible to maintain, but I concede that some people have to have chrome for their builds.
For mine I got an original armature, blasted and painted it, and then bought some painted white mirrors from a big rig supplier, they look pretty good so far I think. The armature is the key, the mirrors themselves are not hard to come by. This is not a great pic but the mirrors are powder coated and look quite good. They "fit" the look of the truck, anyway.
