Assuming they do a good job then.. YES!!

the place I use charges $90 a wheel so $75 is a fair price.. provided you do the detail work good and there is no nickle ghosting..

Ive seen TT2's chromed and they look very good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Can you buy them chrome originally or is it that much of a price difference from polished to chrome?.....reason is I'm probably gonna geta set some 17x9.5 all around but I'm still not sure what finish to get them in....if its too much of a difference then I'll get the polished and then chrome them later <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I've been thinking about doing this myself. $75 a wheel sounds like a great price. If you get it done post some pics. Thanks alot.

You can't buy them in chrome.

$75 a wheel is an outstanding price provided they do it properly and strip the clearcoat and paint off your existing wheels and electrically fuse the chromium molecules to the bare metal of your rim. Most places that do it well charge between $100 and $150 a wheel.

Are you sure you can't get them in crome? I am pretty sure I have seen them advertised before. Could be wrong though.

was going to get either some billet specialties or the simmons f-series, but my friend owns a chrome shop, usualy works on detailing 18 wheelers, does a damn good job. I already checked out american racing, they come just polished, no clearcoat. I also saw that QTP in the sponors list sells chrome TT II's, they buy them then get them chromed.

You CAN buy them through Sears chromed - not 100% sure but think the price was like $100 more +/-

dang....75bucks a pop is an AWSOME price...i paid 200 per wheel for my gm grandsports to get chromed...they did a pretty good job(they had to strip all the black off first, then polish it which may have added greatly to the price), but it was 843 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> w/ tax included for all four to be done...i wish i had a 75/rim price... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> i would say go for it as long as they do good work...

We only have one local shop, and last I heard it was $125-$150 per wheel. Depending on the quality, it sounds like a good price.
