Default How much to fix this?

I'm looking to pick up a set of these but wanted to find out how much it will be to fix this wheel. I dont know what happened but seems like the paint's been scuffed and obviously need painting.

Anybody have any experience and know how much it might cost to fix this?

I dont have these in hand so I can go get a quote from a shop.

Thanks.

Or if you choose to powder coat it a different color, have them dip it in this solution that strips all the paint and clear off

Default Chrome

What about this?

Chrome is flaking/peeling.

you sure that wheel is chrome? it almost looks like BMW's silver they use... if it is chrome, it is in terrible condition...

a chrome wheel will generally cost $175 to $300 to have rechromed... there is a lot of work involved in stripping it and making it perfect - a newly chromed wheel will only look as good as the wheel they are chroming...
