i have the stock non-chrome rims. would it be cheaper to chrome these or buy used chrome rims. the used ones go for about $200 apiece. any help in the los angeles area would be appreciated.
thanks

Just saw your post. Imay be too late, but my advice is don't chrome em. The chrome peels off. Pollishing is the way to go.

autozen offers good advice, the chrome does often peel. More importantly, the chroming process weakens the wheel.

Good luck,
