Default chroming

I'm sure you'll find a place up there but if you don't, you can always send them down here to my wheelshop.

There are no wheelshops in the Northeast that do chromeing. They all send them out to Cali to be done. Is there a shop down there in FLA that has the 3step baths for chromeing on site?

Yeah, there is a shop here in ft laud and several in miami. Same people who do chrome bumpers on custom refurbs. However, my wheelshop sends them to Cali just like everyone else for the manufacturers process that lasts forever.

just to provide you with another option, I got my wheels chromed at Wheel Concepts in Cali. Had them for a little over two years. no complaints. I had 19"s done. I believe it was around $450 for all four.

Big props to Cal Chrome. They did my plastic TT center caps and they look hot. Fully recommended by me.
