Re-Chroming wheels

Does anyone know a good place on Long Island to rechrome wheels?

A friend of mine has chrome rims on his truck and from the snow, salt and other crap they are beginning to rust and pit. Or anything else that can be done to fix this or stop it from happening?.... Other than not driving in the snow and washing them everyday


Thanks

Prices vary from $125-$275 per wheel....

Depends on a lot of factors, how many times, area, etc....

that's very cheap to chrome plate a wheel....real chrome doesn't last in the winter unless you take care of it.

$500 a wheel for tripple plate. so bright you'll go blind. be careful as certain states have regulations which make their plating rather "cheap" and doesn't last.

check out a place called paul's chrome which is in pa i believe. look it up under yahoo or google.
