Default Question for you guys!

After hearing some of the poor quality of aftermarket chrome wheels; Is it smarter to have my 2001 oem wheels chromed? What kind of moeny does it cost to have my wheels chromed? Is this a good or bad idea? What happened is that my Simmons wheels that were SUPPOSED to be ready this month is now delayed till fall so I am looking for something ot hold me over till next year.

If you get a good set of aftermarket wheels (USA products), the chrome will USUALLY be much better quality than some off-shore products.

If you have your wheels polished and chromed you will probably end up with a better final product. Cost of having yours done shouldn't run more than $100-$125/wheel.
