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.

I have coated a few sets of wheels in cerarachrome thats the coating that you see on hot rod exhausts and they look unreal.

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

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