Chroming OEM 20' polished wheels? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

papabearcamaro · 04-14-2010, 10:10 PM

I really like the chrome look over the polished wheels which I have now.
Anyone know of where I can send my wheels to to get them SHOW CHROMED so they come out perfect and last?
If not,I am looking at the Foose chrome wheels.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks everyone for your help.

I had a set of Cobalt wheels done at Cal Chrome. They do PVD chrome which adds virtually no weight to the wheel and did a fantastic job.

I chose black chrome but they do bright chrome as well.

There are other options. I have heard good things about US Wheel Exchange.

I've had both chroming and powder coating done through www.lawheel.com. They now offer a new chrome that's more resistant due to a clear coat protective layer, called Winterchrome, though I haven't experienced it for myself.

Their contact info is on their website, but I just call 818-626-8867 and ask for Robert or Alan, because I live down the street from them ;-)

This is another thing GM should have offered as an option.
