Hi guys, anybody ever wonder why gm only chromes the outer 2+" outer edge of thier factory rims And has anybody eve sent thiers out for FULL Chrome?
Any OEM Chrome wheels I've seen have been completely Chromed. The electroplate chroming process drops the complete wheel in to baths of chemicals. Nothing is "masked off".
What you are probably seeing is the appearance part of the wheel has been highly polished before chroming while the rest of the wheel is left as is from casting/forging/turning. The polishing before chroming gives a much smoother shiny look.
Thanks,so if I took em too a chrome shop they could polish the inner dimension?
No need for a chrome shop. Just remove the paint.
There's already chrome underneath but it won't look that good since the metal underneath wasn't prepared by polishing.
