Rechroming wheels
Did a search and didn't come up with much. Just wondering if anyone has had a set of chrome wheels rechromed? How good of a job did they do and who did you use? What are the basic drawbacks, if any, of doing this? Would you do it again if you had to or just buy new wheels? Thanks for any info you can offer.

unless you have a custom set I think you would due better with an exchange look in the avertiseing section of any hot rod mag they have places were you get a new set of wheels and you send them your old ones its a lot cheaper than having your s redone.......

I haven't had much experiance with wheels, but I just had some bumpers re-chromed for my 67 Camaro.And they look fantastic! There's a really good chromer in Santa Clara, CA called Wheel Techniques. They do great work. I think they have a website also.

Thanks everyone. I've been to the Hubcap and Wheel Store before - may have to check with them.
