Where to get stock rims Chromed.

Iv seen a lot of people do this and it looks realy good.
1) How much is it to do?
2) How long will it last?
3) How durable are they?
4) What special care do they need?

Thanx

Rayco II on rt49 east(past the small airport). If I can recall correctly its $200 per rim. I will be going mine after the winter. They do an exchange so they give you new ones before shipping yours out. I think the guys said they do it in california.

they'll last for ever if you don't scratch them
as far as caring ,wash atleast once a week to keep the brake dust away...

Re: Where to get stock rims Chromed.

I think I like it, I can't really tell by the picture, anyone else have a full view of the rim from the side of the car? Was wondering if the rims are chromed, are they safe to drive in the snow, and winter conditions etc. or will they chip?

I agree - I'm not a fan. Personally, I think chromed rims only belong on Escalades in Rap videos.

Re: Where to get stock rims Chromed.

Forget the chrome. They can be a real problem if they get nicked or abraded. Take a look at these, they are a new process called PermaStar. These are on OEM 18" rims, and cost $600/ea.

I must say the chrome juss destroys the sweet look of the stock rims. Keep it on those "moonwalker" rims in hip hop vidz.

Wow Ca_Kid those look sweet, is it 600/each for the process or the entire rim ?
