I got a break that day, parked directly in front of the restaurant. Drew large crowds and the manager was so happy he offered free lunch every time I would park there. Lots of fun...

Do you mind me asking how much for chrome plating ?

PM me if you don't wish to share with everyone.

Thank you

FYI, the brake dust problem was reduced about 90%, worth the price to me anyhow...

No matter what you do with chrome plated alloys wheels one thing is certain. The chrome will peel! The best way is to have the wheels polished and clearcoated.

Hauser, I've been putting polished and chromed wheels on my cars, boat trailers, and trucks for years and have yet to have a peel, flake or blemish of any kind. If I remember Gainsville is not coastal, nor am I, but I don't know why you have a problem...
