Default Polishing or Chroming of wheels in CT

Anyone know of any local shops in CT or NYC that polish or chrome wheels? I'm thinking about buying some rims and instead of the chrome option having the silver ones polished up or chromed locally. Its a huge price difference from the manufacter. Any imput would be great. Thanks in Advance

Simple Google Search.

Website looks presentable, I'd give them a call and see if they suit your needs.

About a year ago I checked out a place here in Pa. and they wanted $250.00 per wheel to chrome my 97 stock wheels. I thought that was way too much. I hope you can make out better than that. I ennded up finding a set of 4 chrome wheels w/tires that were in excellent condition for $400.

This will prob be your best bet. They are close enough you can just drpo the stuff off rather than pay shipping. I have seen some of the stuff they have done and it looked good but i have never used them personally. If i had to get something chromed it would probably be the first place i try.
