I can get them done locally for 150 a wheel. The chrome is good, but not the best. I know of another place my buddies cycle chop uses. But he's 200 a wheel. But the chrome is almost blue and sparkles like a diamond. Big difference believe it or not... No cheap way to do it right. And even then in 3+ years of street use they usually get beat up as bad, or normally worse.

1/4 lb isn't all that much actually. I wonder if it takes any strength away from the wheels. And looks like the title change may have worked

my CCW 505As were sent to Calchrome for chroming. Seems to be great quality.

Ya Calchrome seems to be quality. I would of probably already bought the Senekas if it wasnt for the 8-10 weeks build time. Im leaning towards some 505s right now.

Ya it does seem like everyone has 505s but I guess there is a reason, their sexy. If I do get em Id be one of the first with the CTS-V brakes behind em if that counts for anything lol.
