Unanswered: chome plating rims - recommendations?

Hi, I'm trying to find a good place that can chrome plate my Manta's wheels, does anyone have experience doing this, and can anyone recommend a business that would be affordable and do a good job? Thanks.

Any bumper chrome shop should be able to do it.

Make sure its the "triple dip" chrome process. Yes, it will be more expensive, but will last 100x longer..

Use the search engine under "rechroming" or "chrome". You will get quite a few hits
