Off the wall question. Chrome Bridge spokes?
I know what most of you are going to say, "un-sprung weight", "too heavy" and so forth but I like the idea of having chromed Bridge Spokes on my R56. Do any of you know of a manufacturer that offers them? I've seen some that are similar but they have that ugly disc in the center that looks like a sprue left over from casting and I don't like it. 
Have any of you ever had a set of wheels chromed? What did it cost and when? Thanks!

They will do the chroming. Adds about 1 to 3 lbs per wheel.
Keep the finish clean to prevent corosion which I have seen on chrome wheels not cleaned regularly.
