"Chromed" Knock-offs??????
A friend suggested that it would be a hugh improvement in my car if I chromed the knock-offs. 
But instead of just brushing him off I thought I'd ask if anyone has a picture of that. Or maybe someone has seen this done.

I would post the link to the correct page, but it's very long. Here's the home page:

Since all the new Knock Off reproduction wheels are beig made in China, including the Chrome Knock-Offs, you may want to keep your current repro wheels in their natural finish.
Pretty soon, recent Made-In-America repro knock offs may start to appreciate in value on the used parts market.

That just doesn't look right. Reminds me of my 1:12 scale 67 Corvette Coupe model that I never got around to detailing the chrome bolt on aluminum wheels. This may make me go do it now.

Direct-bolt knockoffs are the only option. Since a knockoff fell off on my 63 roadster, its the only way I can sleep at night.
