Where can I get my rims re-chromed. They are peeling on the inside.

Mine peeled in the barrel. I sanded it down, primed and painted it black. Came out great and wore very well, until I sold the car. Tom

CalChrome (www.calchrome.com) is one place. The Wheel and Hubcap Store in St. Louis is another. If you need an address for the St. Louis location, just PM me.

Usually not cost effective to rechome a wheel, especially if there are a lot of pits in the base metal.

You should try to refinish your barrels to be cost effective. These are pictures from the first set of rims I refinished the barrels in. I am now working on a second set using a paint that makes the finish look just like chrome.
