  • Re-Chroming wheels

    Is it worth it. I have 16" cragars. They still look amazing, but they have some curb rash, and some very minor scratches. Is re-chroming rims a good idea? How much is it?

    And does anyone know anyone who does it in the NJ area? Thanks.

      <hr></blockquote>Re-chroming rims go for about $100-$150 per wheel, but it may not help you if your originals are damaged. Plus you'll have to pay for the old chrome removal. If they're Cragar SS wheels, you have a steel outer with a cast inner. I'd find a wheel supplier and get the old outer cut off and a new outer welded on. It will be much cheaper than having the chrome taken off, wheel fixed, and new chrome put on.
