    Wheel repair and chroming

    Just wondering if anyone knows someone reputable to repair and re-chrome my wheels. And no I didn't do it. LOL

    Don't know how bad your wheel is but Cal-Chrome repaired some minor bends in mine and chromed them. These are their pics they e-mail you before they ship them out.

    Wow real nice. Mine have minor bends and the chrome is bubbling in a spot. Was also thinking about going black chrome this time. Thanks Sybil

    Yes. It was $75.00 extra per repair. You can also see I spent an extra $100 per wheel to have the inner barrel high polished before it was chromed for a nice smooth barrel that will make brake dust easy cleaning.

    clarify that you want the inner barrel done as well. some chromers will quote you a good price, but only do the face.

    I used a company called rimguard. I think they are a franchise, my wheels were bent, road rashed, and needed powder coating, they did chrome as well, but they did a great job.

    I'm going to contact these guys this week. My daily driver wheels are severely corroded from the calcium chloride on the roads.

    Did your wheels need to have any metal welded to the rim and then machined to the original profile? Did they do the job with the wheels on the car or off?
