cost of chroming..

Post by Troyport »

I have no clue how much it may cost to have wheels chromed. None at all. set of 4 flawless and 100% original silver painted wheels from a 1999 Olds Intrigue. I am trying to find a decent set of chromes, but maybe it would be cheaper / easier / safer to just have these chromed? Anyone have any clue? Thanks, Mike.

The cost of PVD and chrome is about the same, but PVD has a much longer life. You should expect to pay $125-150 per wheel, plus whatever shipping costs would be associated with it.
