Good luck Sam.. From what I have heard, they are pretty stringent about chroming the whole rim in Australia.. Something to do with weakening the
metal, making it unsafe. But I might be wrong. If you find someone, let me know.
THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!

Sam
to get wheels chromed you have to have them cut apart centers removed then they will chrome for you. After chroming they have to be re aligned and
welded back together
