i want to get my rims dip i need to know if anyone knows where to go for this i want a grade a job the truck will be getting painted at the end of jan or the begining of feb.

It would be cheaper to buy new rims.

Chrome is not just dipped, sorry.
First the rims have to be stripped. Then there is the nickel....Polishing....There is so much labor in plating decorative chrome it's not funny. It is so controlled by the EPA and OSHA that very few shops even do it.
The quality of workmanship is gone BUT if you do find a good chrome plater be sure to let me know :)

well the rims i have are not old i just did not take care of them when i was swamped with work and the truck was out side and i tried to clen them they just don't come clean like i want them to,and i can not get them in chrome plated.i though some one said they got their done for like 125 per rimand it was a real good job.yes i know it is per prices but i like my rims and i did not pay form them so i figured i could just get them plated and i'll been done.

They are chrome now? On steel or aluminum? New or old they would stil have to be stripped first. I work in the industry, we just dont plate chrome, sorry.

$125 ea sounds about right.

no the rim are aluminum eagles they are only a year old what mess them up is the were on my truck in the weather for a most for the year they only have about 500 miles on rims and tires.

does anyone know where to get it done at

WELL LOOKS LIKE NO ONE WANT TO DO IT.What is bad that eagle will not even take them back to chrome dip them for me.

Plating onto Aluminum is a real bitch and new FEDERAL regulations pretty much killed chrome plating in the USA. Sorry. There is an outfit in LA california that plates my customers parts, I will try to get a name for ya.

Brown's plating is one of the TOP chrome'rs in the country for HD parts
