All I see is a red x, but I know the wheels you are talking about. Those are right up Vic's alley! I wonder if they offer a financing plan for the homies??? They would look good on an '86 rusted out Ford Taurus.

I don't think that's a bad price for all of the work involved in that job. The polishing is mostly labor, but if it's a good chrome job, then that's not bad at all. You might want to ask them what "Show Chrome" is, because different companies have different definitions. Triple plated chrome is the best in that it has two layers of nickel before the chrome goes on. The Nickel is what gives it most of the shine, the chrome is a protectant for the Nickel.

Another thing to ask is what type of warranty they offer on their plating and what it covers (discoloring, peeling, flaking, chipping, etc) because if they offer less than a year, then I'd start comparing with other shops. You should get a year minimum, with three years being the best that I've seen.

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer to your question about a shop recommendation, but thought that I'd pass on some info that I've learned over the years that might help you when you do find a shop/ Best of Luck!
