I don't know of a "cheap" place for any chrome work. The chrome and all of the polishing for my Demon was over $1500 and that was 3 years ago. I would look in the classified section.

Plating costs have risen greatly due to chemical recovery/management mandated by the EPA. Buy a set of new wheels instead.

Powder coat them? I thought someone was making a powder coat that looked and shined just like chrome or at least pretty darned good.

thats a warlock and is supposed to have those chrome slots on it. maybe he wants to put it back to stock. i heard a while back that those wheels are expensive to have redone. they are two piece if original.

You could probably have a wheel outfit cut the rim shell off and replace it with a new chrome piece.

The words "cheap" and "chrome" can not be used in the same sentence.

Thanks for the info guys. There going onto this ramcharger, the one on it right now are incorrect. I can these rims that are on it right now for around $40 each. I wonder how there able to sell these rims so cheap if it cost so much to get them chrome plated?

Chrome plating new, clean parts on a production basis is very different than stripping, preping and plating old, rusty parts one at a time.

I think a lot of new chrome wheels come from countries with no EPA regs. That keeps cost down.
