teej Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question: If I have regular alloy wheels, is it possible to get them 'chromed?' (Of course, without ruining them). If so, how much would it cost to 'chrome' a set of 20" Alpina rims? Anyone know? Here's a pic of the rim as it stands now: Thanks, teej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a pic of the rim as it stands now: Thanks, teej Chrome plating of aluminuim is quite a complex process, you need to go through a 15 step preperation process before you can lay on the chrome. So it is possible, in Thailand probably not unless you have a need for high volume in which case you would set up your own line. In short forget it, it would be cheaper to send your wheel to the US and even then the cost would be more than the intial cost of the wheels.
