Getting wheels Chromed anyone know who does it
Wonder if anyone can help me please
cut a very long story short ... I have chrome P1 SBC (special edition) wheels on my car and I didnt know they where special edition until I ordered (What I thought was my wheel from Japan) which it turned up today but it is the wrong colour...
They won't take the wheel back as it was my mistake so now I am left with a £300 wheel that is the wrong colour so I need to get it chromed.... can anyone tell me of any company in the UK that might be able to do this
Thanks
Mark

I searched high and low for wheel chromers to do the wheels on my '69 beetle but couldnt find anyone in the South East. Apprently it is a special process and you cant do it in a normal chroming tank. Something to do with holding the wheel and the risk of leaving marks.
Try yellow pages for electroplaters in your area.
