Not sure who they used, but the wheels on my wife's Saab were done by the dealer and they are 3 years old and complete garbage. The chrome is pitting, pealing, and the lip wont hold air on 2 wheels anymore.

So be careful who you use. they looked great a year ago. And I take good care of them too.

Let me know if they do a good job though, I may have these redone.

Your best bet would be sending them off to Cali. You will get quality but it will cost $$$.

It's funny that the state with the strictest emissions laws has a chrome shop on every corner.
