Chrome in HAMPTON ROADS????
I am considering getting my CCW 505As chromed. ZThey are on my 02Z which is my daily driver. I absolutely love the way they look, but as a daily driver (without a garage) it is impossible to keep them looking like I would like. I'm sure some of you saw them at Waterside 
Does anybody know of a place to get wheels chromed in this area? If not, any recommendations on where I should send them for a decent price?? I have a Yukon for a beater so I can go for a few days without the car.
Also, while I'm on it... I am having a tough time deciding on this. I love the way the polished aluminum looks when it is shined up, what do you all think of chroming them? Would it take away from the look? Thanks in advance!!

Chrome is a process that requires specific chemicals that most states regulate due to EPA restrictions. I shopped around the area for a good chrome solution. California has the best chrome process ( I think CalChrome is the name of the company).
Maryland has a slight blue tinted chrome and VA I think is yellowish.
My wheels are black centered CCWs with just a polished lip.
Want to drive to Alexandria VA and swap me

You can try Hanlon Plating in Richmond. I know they do large bumpers, so they may do wheels. My friend did his bumpers there and they look great.
