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

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

Steve, i got mine from Bob at House of wheels in Florida, Bob posts here. You can get either GM or replicas in Chrome from him. This is my 3rd set of wheels from him, no problems and great service
