Opinions, please. Rechrome my Cragars or replace them?
I have no idea what it would cost to have them rechromed. They are about $150 apiece new. I'm not trying to be a cheepskate, I was curious. Thanks for your input.

I've never had anything re chromed before,and would recommend at least getting an estimate before you decide either way.Seems the standards of excellence isn't as great as it used to be,and you'll find your new shiny chrome soon to be flaking or rusting.A specialty chrome shop may give you a much thicker and nicer job for the same money,or less,and you already know they fit the car.
My personal opinion is toss the chrome and get aluminum wheels that can be polished back to better than new if the need arises.

Rechroming isn't cheap. I am almost positive that it would be more cost effective to replace them.
