Rim Re-Chroming?

[TransHed]

I bought a set of winter rims/tires for my Trans Am off my buddy Frank (Outlaw40) this past weekend, so now my machined chrome C6 motorsports can go away until spring.

Now I highly doubt anyone has seen my C6 rims up close, but last winter they were my only set of rims and my TA is my only car, so they got thrashed and are peeling and chipped. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to get them re-machine faced? Obviously with them being machine faced they dont need to be be fully chromed over, just the outside of the rim.

Here's a picture of them for a reference (when they were new):

It looks like the center cap is chrome and the rest is just polished.
You can refinish them yourself or go to http://www.wheel-tech.com/first.html

This is who my dad went through for his 96 vette. Amazing work and fair priced.

No the center cap is just a plastic piece. The rims are chrome, the plastic is just more reflective.

Ah it must be the angle the pic was taken.
So check out the places recommended by all above and see who can do what you want for a decent price.

Well if getting them re-chromed and two of them widened costs more than just getting new ones... then ill just get new ones lol.

Some places will exchange them as long as the wheels you have are not mechanically damaged (bent, cracked). This usually reduces the cost of the new set.
