Not around your area.
There's a place here in Atlanta that sends them off to a another chrome shop here in Georgia. It's a start. He said they can do a good job on most parts, if it's rims or really specialized he sends them to California.
Call 'em if you like -Best Metal Polishing. 770-921-7445 Ask for Tal.

(Mods there isn't a sponsor here for chrome so I hope you don't mind the post.)

We have our wheels done here in the Atlanta area..never had a problem with them..sending them to cali seems like a waste of time and money..if you want to know who the best chrome shop in the country it is not in cali..Brown's Plating in Paducah, Ky is the best in the country..been in biz for decades and are the best..

PS They do not do wheels..they mostly do motorcycle parts..When I was in my Harley stage they did some work for me..fantastic work I must say..I am sure they would do some parts..but I know they do not do wheels..

They actually don't chrome, they send it off to another place after they do the smoothing and prep work.
