MachRanger Jun 13 2001, 10:30pm There is a place called: http://www.aaarims.com they will chome plate wheels for you. They also plate OEM wheels that were not originally avail in chome. But BE READY! Not a cheap process, it's gonna' cost you a bundle. Roadrunner Jun 14 2001, 09:06pm I talked to a guy about that at a tire seller and he said it was about $100 per rim. My chemestry teacher also taught our class how to do it, just need a bigh voltage batter and some cromium solution. Only prob is if you mess up in the electro plating process there will be an explosion strong enough to take out a small room. Johnny D Jun 15 2001, 02:50pm that's rediculous, i'm in the chrome plating industry and we deal with that stuff all the time, there has never been an explosion of any kind, just to clarify. electroplating will leave a buildup of dull metal looking chrome. The steel has to be polished with a stone, then diamond polished then put in the bath, it's along process, PLEASE don't try it by your self, just send it out. And most of the chrome done on rims isn't chrome, its nickel. Johnny D Jun 15 2001, 02:54pm sorry, i made a mistake on the last part, the rims are triple chromed, with copper, nickel, chrome peace Roadrunner Jun 19 2001, 12:30pm that is just waht i was told, may be wrong ??? That's what happens when you have a grad student teacher :rolleyes: Johnny D Jun 20 2001, 09:27am i'm sorry if i came off a little harsh... i didn't mean to, just dont' want you to make an uneducated decision peace Roadrunner Jun 20 2001, 09:37am I could care less, I'm wrong all the time :dunce: . Thanks for the real story. Johnny D Jun 22 2001, 12:55pm i take advantage of the rare times that i actually have an idea of what i'm talking about on this board:beer: |
