Hi

Does anyone know of electroplating shops in SE Qld that will chrome wheels?

I've rung the local one here and they say no.

Just incase you dont realise the wheels have to be cut apart center removed in order to get a good plating job then re welded back together again after plating

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Thanks for the replies. No Cutting allowed as they are alloys.
