Chrome dipped rims

Has anyone heard of such a thing??? In my town we have a car dealer that sayes he'll ship my factory rs rims off to have them "dipped in chrome" for 50 bucks a piece. I was hoping to get a litle bit of info on this before i do it. Has anyone in here had this done?? if so. do they turn out good??? let me know

$50 a piece? Sounds like a good deal. PM Z28z, I've seen his in person and look awesome.

no way you can paint anything to look like this..........and if someone says they will do it for 50 you'd be dumb not too..

personally, i'd ask to see some work they have done first before you go through with anything........i'd hate to see them spray paint them chrome with a rattlecan.
