    Where to have wheels re-chromed?

    I am possibly buying a set of rare 18" saleen speedline wheels. They are chrome and it is peeling around the center cap and ends of the spokes. I thought about getting them powdercoated but after speaking with a powdercoater I feel keeping them chrome is my best option. Does anyone know of anywhere semi-local that can do this. If the cost is reasonable then I may get them, if not I will passs on the wheels.

    Chroming is never cheap, but in the event of those rare wheels, it's probably cheaper than buying a set in perfect condition.

    IIRC I was looking at a number approaching $300 to rechrome one of my Y2k wheels that was in bad shape, so I ended up just buying a new one for $350.

    Let me know what quote you get though, I have been thinking of widening my rear wheels, which would mean I'd need a rechrome on them afterwards.

    Is that $325 for 4 wheels? If so, that's an awesome price!
