Iwas curious about the same thing so I did some research and came across this company here in california. Haven't contacted them yet but thought I would send it your way. I found that if you search for chrome plating, instead of chrome wheels you will be more sucessful in popular search engines. Here's the link Chrome Plating Services

Tirerack uses PlateCorp in California. Very high quality plater, and they are consumer direct, I would guess @ $200 wheel. Plating is only as good as the platers whom do the prep work.

Be careful when you chose the platers, I'd make sure they have a lot of positive customer feedback first... they need to do the proper prep steps, otherwise the chrome will rust or flake off. Or both. Not good!

Hey There,

It's actually my car....I had the wheels chromed through a local tire shop in Thousand Oaks, California.

$500.00 for all 4 wheels.

No problems so far.
