Default Someone who chomes (or polishes) wheels in LA area

Can anyone help me? I need to find a person to re-chrome my wheels. To make a long story short, I found out that the lips on my wheels were polished the hard way and ruined the lip. I wouldn't mind if you have the name of a good machinist to polish it out but since the face of the wheel is already chromed, I would like the lip chromed as well. I would be willing to drive out to the OC or SB counties. Please help. I can't stand it; it's so ugly! Thanks in advance.

flat rates.

for example... to powder coat rims in any color you want, $75 each rim. That will take away all your curbage and such....

Dan_k -

I recently did a 4 week consulting gig in Gardena tons of chroming places around that city so you may want to check a gardena phone book or take a drive around if you're close by.

Phillip, black center/silver lip are ok but still played out nowadays by, well...everybody. If you can pull it off with the right paint color, I'd say go for it but on the teal mist SC, I would advise against it. Just my honest opinion Phil. btw, 40amp fuse is coming..I've bought a couple wrong sets but dont worry, third times a charm.
