[crazy_bird]

I've wanted to have this done aswell, but its not cheap :(

Find a chrome shop. There are several around the country, and its something like $50-100 per wheel.

My advice? Buy the wheels you want instead.

Wow if only that cheap! If you want a very good triple plate show quality chrome job look to spend more in the ranges of 300-400 per wheel.

I checked serveral places and that is about what you will pay for a very good quality job. Anything less would be a bit shady.

You are probably better off spending 1k + for a NEW chrome set of wheels.

You can not do large items like wheels yourself. The smell of the chrome materials needed alone would stink up the neighboorhood for 3 blocks. LOL

1. It is hazardous materials to handle.
2. It takes prep work before plating.
3. There will be harzardous waste to dispose of.

The list could go on and on. I have a few chrome platting places book marked if anyone needs them.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

I always wondered why the chrome wheels were a $725 option on the Camaro. I guess this topic explains it.

Yeah, chrome is NOT cheap at all. Its getting more expensive too, as the materials and the by-products are toxic, which makes the whole process more pricey.

I have many differnt re-finisher pages marked. This one shows most of the process if your interested.
