Default Re-chrome!!

can any one give me a name/number/contact of some place that re-chrome aluminium wheels.

My wheels suck *** and the dealer that i bought them from wont warrenty them when i never drove it in the winter and they are only a year and a half old. So i want to do one of two things...one is re chome....two, after a recent thread i read, i thought about stripping the chome and getting them polished.

any thoughts/ideas?

Nobody wants to do it anymore due to the EPA's regulations getting tougher. There are a few places that do it, but you really gotta look around to find them. It's a bitch.

that would be sweet....i like the chrome wheels, but it seems that i have had problems with every set that i have owned. I had a 17" centerline set that was polsihed aluminum, and that point i was running the truck in the dirt and mud all the time and they were a bitch to clean...so i gave those to my dad and bought these 20" chrome plated ones. i want to go back to the polished look now!!

i would hate to take the ones back from my dad seeing that his truck looks awsome with them on it....

so polished is the way i want to do with the 20's

I talked to a guy about rechroming my wheels, would cost more to rechrome than to buy a brand new wheel. Pointless..
