Chrome Formula Wheels
I am interested in getting my wheels finished in chrome like these wheels from Wheel Concepts. I already polished and clear coated my original wheels once and they have started to peel. Does anybody have any experience with Wheel Concepts and or getting their wheels chromed?

Re: Chrome Formula Wheels
call a GM dealership. When I bought my new 1997 camaro they sent me to a place and had chrome plated wheels ready to go. Not sure about a older car and the availability.

Re: Chrome Formula Wheels
I did some searches on google and ebay, and there are a tons of chrome shops in California. Not many in Ohio or in the east. Its difficult to pick one from the others. Wheels Concepts quoted me $500 to do 4 wheels as shown in the pictures. In this a good price? I know for a couple hundred more I can get new 17" or 18" wheels, but I like keeping the original look, with a chrome upgrade.
I found a company in Canton, Ohio that does a chrome like coating called "Metallite". They specialize in dealer work. Their link is:

They haven't returned my calls or email. I guess their too busy for small customers.
