You gotta send it out to the west coast, prob something like 150-200 per wheel.

Some wheel shops can send the wheel out for you......like here in L.A. we have 310 Motoring & Sprewell Racing(even though I would never buy stuff from there.)

Check out Custom Wheel Service in Anaheim CA...they did some GREAT work for me!

You will need to be patient however. Do a search for them on Yahoo..you should be able to find their contact info!

I got my supra tt's chromed at California Chrome in CA. They did a good job and their price was $150 per wheel. I found them b/c of good reviews from supraforums people.

I had my wheels in less than 2 weeks. It kind of depends when they do their next run though too.

Can someone explain how the whole process goes? Do I just ship my wheel there or do I have to go to a wheel shop to have someone set everything up for me? Thanks guys, great info!

A place that i know of up here in Mass will do everything for you. You just take them the wheels. Another member uses Rayco in Jersey but I'm not sure how they do it

You just ship your wheel there (well packaged and insured) and when they're done with it, they ship it back. Just give them a call and they'll explain everything. It's easier than you think.
