Have you tried Wheels America? They have a location in Miami.

They specialize in wheel repair but I believe they chrome, too.

Nope, I didn't know they existed. I've never done this before but I'm gonna google them now. Makes me wonder.....If the chrome is more then 5-600 dollars is it a better deal just to buy a set from Bob over at House of Wheels for 1K and sell the originals?

There are several places that do a wheel exhange. I believe that Ecklers and Mid America Design have such a program. I'm sure there are Forum vendors that do it also. Hope they will chime in.

Good Luck

Might be costlier to have them chrome yours but it's worth a quote.

It's called trying to do two things at once and failing to do one of them right

Also take into consideration the down time when you leave the wheels,Personally I would rather buy new and have them shipped
