Got to agree with bazza there i chromed a tiny part on my juke box £50 go with new if money not an issue they will be more durable as well
jaybo
The problem i have though is that i realy like the look of them especialy with the 10" rears
Looks like it might be a no go then........... :sad: :sad: :sad:
mudzs
did not relise you had 10" rears and it would be a shame to get rid of them perhaps you could phone around for a quote you never know might be cheaper than we think .
jaybo
BEEN THERE, GOT THE T-SHIRT....... YOU KNOW THE SCRIPT................


JUST WAITING FOR SOME REPLYS BACK OFF SEVERAL COMPANYS, BUT ITS LOOKING BLEAK :( :(

you dont actually just want chrome, you will be best getting them stainless steel coated , for the durability

however if the compant doing the coating isnt top notch the stainless steel chrome can flake

stainless steel chroming is the method that the best wheel makers now use for the chrome effect

Well i want to chrome my set of Blitz Techno sport 18" too, the rims on them is corroded, but i tell you, it is not cheaper to buy a new set of those, Lol, they cost £2700 a set, but then i have now decide to filp paint them, so they dont get corroded as fast as chrome...hehe :D :D

The True is im not going to have them Chrome again, im too lazy to clear them and they do need a lot of clearing to keep them nice, which i dont have the times to do so, so im going to Filp Paint it at the same time when the whole car going to be Filped.....
